Well, yes and no. Basically, the way dodging works vs bullets is that the aim-fire cycle takes a certain amount of time, so if you can move by your body width in less than that amount of time, you'll be able to dodge. Since bullets have non-zero time of flight, long range increases the time you have available to dodge.
