Sure it does. If you're multihoming it will increase your AS path length.
There is no general correlation between AS path length and whether
or not a network pays to exchange traffic.
There is a noticeable correlation between cost and local-preference,
as-path prepending, metric setting and other ways networks control
how they send you traffic. This is affected by peering selectivity
as well as transit prices.
