Actually, I think it would. In order to understand if the DPF needs a regen, the ECU looks at the exhaust backpressure. However, this is a function of the amount of exhaust flow. The exhaust flow is proportional to MAF. A simplification is that it will regen when it reaches certain MAF/backpressure combinations.
If your MAF sensor is reading high, it will think it is flowing more air than it actually is. Therefore, with a higher flow rate at the same exhaust pressure, it will lead to more frequent regens.
