I shouldn't think so. I've been touch typing since I was quite young, and I can type more quickly than most people do, but I don't believe that this makes me more productive: I spend far more time reading and thinking than I ever do writing, and I think this is true for most people.
(I did have one coworker, years ago, for whom this did not seem to be true: he routinely cranked out the largest volumes of code I've ever seen, by an order of magnitude - but his work was as notable for its sloppy repetition, bugginess, poor spelling, and total lack of abstraction as for its largeness. I think the team might have been more productive as a whole if he had been forced not to touch-type, perhaps by tying one of his hands behind his back while he worked.)
