This is not what the Baseline Requirements state and it's also not how issuance works in practice. The validation requirements for things like "Organization" always apply "[if] the Applicant requests a Certificate that will contain the countryName field and other Subject Identity Information."
If you submit a CSR with any of these fields, and you're requesting a DV certificate, the CA will discard those fields. Any sane CA implementation will cherry-pick only a whitelisted set of fields from the CSR, make sure the values have been validated according to the Baseline Requirements and root policies, assemble the certificate from that data and sign the result, ignoring all other fields (or discarding the request).
CAs that run something like sign(user_submitted_csr) would not last long in any of the major root programs.
