Yes, this is kind of the definition of park factors. They are how the stadium impacts output based on the league average. So, for that to truly work you need them to average out to 1.000 or else you are skewing your league totals.

Generally, it won't have a huge impact because most stadiums don't deviate that much from the average. However, if you have a number of funky parks that impact may grow.
