No, this theory posits that Slytherin's locket never was in the basin
in the first place.  Voldemort put the false locket there himself,
when he first prepared the Horcrux, and Dumbledore is the first person
to find it.  How Slytherin's real locket ended up at Grimmauld Place
is not yet clear, but Regulus Black is, I believe, a red herring, who
has nothing to do with the Horcrux.
