No. Your data usage is measured by what’s actually downloaded on your device, not the route it travels to get to you.

The only exception might be if you have a slow/flaky connection via some faraway place that keeps crashing and restarting your file downloads so you’re effectively downloading stuff multiple times. You’d rack up your data usage that way.
