Not true, it won't change the VE number automatically.
The Gen 7 uses 7 parameters in a mathematical formula, one of which is the VE, to calculate how long to pulse the injector to achieve the desired air/fuel. If you change the fuel pressure after doing the tune and change the fuel pressure value in the config as mentioned, then you'll need to change all the VE numbers to a lower value. However this can be done easily by clicking and dragging across the entire table, pushing the X key and multiplying everything by .90 or whatever. In theory you would have the same amount of excess in all areas.
