No, both toe-in and toe-out will rise wear. toe - means angled all the time tire against direction of travel, that slightly drags/slips all the time when moving. No matter if it's angled more to one or another side. What toe in-ness or out-ness direction changes is self-stabilizing or destabilizing of that car end where it's non zero, not wear extent. It's amount/width of toe angle that impacts wear, how much far from zero, where tires point in direction car moves, it is, that ups or lowers wear caused by toe. You can drag tire slightly to left or to right, it will wear more in both cases. One may add toe-out for planned _handling_ change, eg. to easier rotate rear or sharper turn in front (at expense of more nervous, less stable handling), tires will wear more. One may add toe-in and car will be harder to throw off balance and harder to rotate that end .. and tires will wear more.
