No it doesn't.
Anyway, the issue about some PLD openers is about having dps boost ability(FoF) run empty out of combat, only using its tail in opener.
It feels realy stupid.
Perhaps the constant buffs to magic phase will push it out, we'll see.
I think the buffs to its Magic Phase are mostly to try and push its numbers up so it can compare to the other tanks in a raid setting - albeit they've made PLD more monstrous in a dungeon setting by giving Confiteor 1k potency on top of Expiacion being more powerful.
As for FoF, I think that pre-pull is mostly for fight timing - something that can be important to have in some fights like Barbie where you have multiple instances of interruption(Hair Tethers) or flat out downtime(first transition).
Paladin has always operated on timings and optimal rotation throughout many fights, most in general are the optimal rotation, rare cases it's the alternative.
For Barba though, it's the 16-18s pre-pull FoF.
