Yep. And he believed Locke over his own knowledge of what happened when he missed the 108 minute deadline until he "re-confirmed" his inner knowledge with the printout.
Just like when he let himself be persuaded by his physicist friend that he couldn't be remembering the future and by the lady in the shop who was telling him that even if he did "remember" the future, it couldn't be changed.
Same thing.
Like Mama Cass says,
It may be rough-going,
Just to do your thing
the hardest thing to do.
It was easier for Desmond to fall in and follow than to find the courage within himself to strike out on his own.
