No, the HKS probably isn't worse than stock. But it's just red tape one needs to be cognisant of. Personally I would just keep a stock toyota filter on hand to screw in before the truck arrives if you're really worried about your engine. If it's stock don't worry about it

"Should something go wrong, the warranty provider will need to determine the cause of the problem. The Federal Trade Commission says, “The manufacturer or dealer must show that the aftermarket or recycled part caused the need for repairs before denying warranty coverage.” That means if the dealer can prove (the burden is on the dealer) the problem was caused by the wrong viscosity or a poor quality oil filter, your warranty can be denied. Warranty protection would still be in effect for other parts of the cars"
Let them try to prove an HKS filter under performed and caused damage
