No, it doesn't.

Fixed regulator probe is deferred:

reg-fixed-voltage reg-fixed-voltage.0.auto: Failed to register
regulator: -517

But:
sdhci-pci 0000:00:01.3: No vmmc regulator found

Code in sdhci driver is:
        ret = mmc_regulator_get_supply(mmc);
        if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
                return ret;

mmc_regulator_get_supply():
...
        mmc->supply.vmmc = devm_regulator_get_optional(dev, "vmmc");
        mmc->supply.vqmmc = devm_regulator_get_optional(dev, "vqmmc");

        if (IS_ERR(mmc->supply.vmmc)) {
                if (PTR_ERR(mmc->supply.vmmc) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
                        return -EPROBE_DEFER;
                dev_dbg(dev, "No vmmc regulator found\n");
...


So _regulator_get() returns something else than -EPROBE_DEFER.
