I don't think so but it might affect the refilling procedure though, if one hose of the heater core cannot pull the air out, you may end up with air pockets. How much coolant did it take while refilling?
Here is a zoomed in diagram of the cooling system hoses, the hoses to the heater system marked in red. Does this vehicle have a transmission fluid dipstick? It sounds like there may still be air pockets, the coolant spec is 15-16Liters, For an empty refill, and the refill procedure for an empty system (diagrams 3, 4, 5). There are a lot of small hoses on this vehicle but check that the transmission fluid just to be sure there isn't any coolant in it.
16 liters is over 4 gallons, so it's quite a bit of coolant.
When doing the vacuum refill, after you have vacuumed it down fully and its held for a couple minutes, when you go to refill, you can't let the fill hose that pulls the coolant into the system to take any air in, so use a 5 gallon bucket or some large container so when refilling there is no need to stop the refill procedure. It needs to keep pulling coolant until its completely full and it has to be down to 30inHG of vacuum so it can pull the full amount of coolant.
You can try taking off a hose that's higher up, an easy one to unclamp, so the air can bleed out, I usually check any hoses that are up the highest since that's where the air can end up, but the vacuum bleed system should have no problem pulling all the air out.
