Is it true that if a Muslim prays six rak'ahs between Maghrib and Isha twice, he will be forgiven for his past missed prayers, based on a hadith from which it is understood that praying these rak'ahs is like praying for twelve years?

The aforementioned hadith is weak, and even if it were authentic, it does not indicate that these rak'ahs are sufficient to make up for missed prayers, as what is mentioned in it is a reward, not a sufficiency. Therefore, you must make up all the obligatory prayers you missed after puberty.
