Yes and no, but mostly no.  The LMP subversion is that of the link
manager on the Bluetooth chip, not (for example) the phone's GSM
baseband chip---unless Bluetooth is built into the latter, which is
possible but not very common.  In either case it's probably not telling
you the sorts of things you want to know about the phone, simply about
the phone manufacturer's procurement policy.

Note that because they're telling you about the Bluetooth chip, the LMP
and HCI subversion numbers are useless without the Bluetooth
manufacturer ID (which is also reported).  You can decode these
from http://www.bluetooth.org/assigned-numbers/company_identifiers.php

There will be *some* correlation: an older version is likely to appear
in an older phone, obviously.  But even the same model of phone might
have a different version of the firmware, and in some cases even a
completely different Bluetooth chip.  There's not even a requirement
that the LMP subversion is monotonically increasing with time.
