Cooling the fuel will reduce it's volume, hence in theory yes you added a little more fuel to the tank than if it were warmer. It may also fail the test as the 16/25% rules are at 20 degrees Celsius.
While engine is running it will make little difference to performance as we restrict the fuel to acquire the fuel/air mixture. So it's not a matter of whether it cool or not as we can easily provide more fuel to the mix.
Cooling your fuel in humid climates will create a lot of condensation, best keep the cap on the bottle at all times.
