Don't think so. When i was with T mobile, they didn't allow tethering but i activated it on my phone and it worked just fine.
They do detect the data at the network end, it's just if your account is under 'watch' for this or not. Older contracts before rule changes = perhaps not watched so tightly, newer contracts = very hard to tether.
On a recently taken out (1-2 years) three contract they'll be quick to block tethering, easy for them to see what data is passing through their system to your phone.
