Yes.

The fact that you tell Squid to use a specific IP does not make your
Squid host route this traffic via the ISP where this IP belongs. Any
host that is multihomed with more than one Internet connections must
be carefully setup to route the correct traffic to the correct ISP.

Squid has no control of how your Squid server host will route the
traffic. If can only control which of the IP addresses available on
the host will be used.
Which ISP the traffic actually gets sent to is a routing problem.
Note: Quite likely your whole problem can be solved most easily by
correct routing, with no need to tell Squid anything about
tcp_outgoing_address.
