No, generally not.
aft CG prevailed, and the dutch roll became more severe
So that would be a 'yes' to the original question, then, surely?

I think many aircraft will exhibit a tendency to Dutch Roll if you reduce directional stability sufficiently, which often effectively occurs on final approach at low airspeed, or alternatively if you moved the CG aft.
