Sure it does. As you said yourself, IE7 was always tied to Vista. Except back then the plan was to have it available only for Vista. Now it is going to be available for XP as well, and that surely has something to do with Firefox.
Availability on XP was driven by the delay in the release of Vista as well as several technologies moving downlevel due to that delay and developer feedback from PDC 2003.

"IE 7 has always been attached to the release of Vista. You can go back to the original Longhorn roadmap and statements made prior to see this. Firefox has nothing to do with its release."
