Possibly. The insurance company has reimbursed your landlord for his loss, and may indeed be within their rights to attempt to recover that from you as the one responsible. You're not their customer, your lanlord is, and anything they can recover from you will reduce the premiums they charge their customers.Unless the insurance company in question is the renter's, because he had rental insurance. In that case, the renter would be the insurance company's customer. As to whether the insurance company would cover a grease fire, the renter would have to consult his/her policy.
If you are a tenant who rents out an apartment, house or building for living space it is a great idea to get renter's insurance.
