I don't believe that for a moment.
For a start, if the fix is software only, as seems likely, then there is no reason why operators should not be able to embody the relevant SB themselves.
That aside, the logistics of having to return every Max aircraft in the world to Boeing are unthinkable, not least because there would be huge arguments among current operators about where their particular aircraft would be in the queue for what will inevitably be a long-drawn-out exercise.
