Does a higher spoke count usually/always result in a wheel being less prone to go out of true?

Example - Ultegra FH-6600/Mavic Open Pro with 32 spokes or a Mavic Aksium Rear Wheel with (I think) 20 spokes

Depends on the rim quality, section and profile.

But generally, yes - the more spokes the better it stays true.
