Yes, DPI means dots per inch. If the mouse is calculating more dots per inch then it is more precise. A bump in sensitivity is just a change in how the mouse interperets the jump between dots. So, low sensitivity with High DPI wont be any faster or slower, but it will technically be picking up more precise tracking. However see this as you will, cause some will argue the more calculations the mouse needs to make, the more room for lag.... Personally I play with medium DPI (2000) and low in-game sensitivity (1.3 in CS source.)
