To some extent probably...
OTOH I have ridden some bikes with quite a bit of toe overlap with no problem. I suspect that some riders just naturally adjust more easily to it than others (and maybe some riders don't adjust at all). Unfortunately since it just happens automatically I have no advice on how to do it. For me thinking about it would probably make things worse.
