Sorta...if you lower the center of mass (the chassis), by definition you lower the CG. The instant center (of gravity) is more a theoretical construct that illustrates the chassis leverage points.
If you lower the chassis, you move the instant center as well, but it's the relationship between the center of gravity and the instant center that really matters.
When you mess with anti-squat and kickup, you're messing with the fore-aft instant center vs. CG to add/subtract forward bite. When you play with arm/link pivot angles, you mess with the roll center...which is the CG vs. the ("lateral" or side/side) instant center for adjust roll/side bite. It's all about leverage, either way.
