No, it doesn't change. We keep having this conversation. That's not how the game handles optional quests.

CT happened in post-ARR. Nothing changes that.

Dialogue in the CT quests, particularly involving Nero, indicates you are in post-ARR regardless of when you do it.

Completing the CT after Shadowbringers then rewatching the cutscene where G'raha previously claimed you hadn't met yet has altered that line. The events of CT have been "slotted in" to the overall story at their appropriate time and have now happened prior to your trip to the First, even if you played them afterwards.

The events of CT are not affected by the changes to the timeline initiated in post-Stormblood because they took place before the timeline split and have not been altered.
