The underlying index fund does not hold short positions. It makes its stock available for other people to borrow (who almost certainly on-lend it to people that short), and it receives a fee for lending the stock, which it shares with the lending program administrator. The fund also receives collateral, which (for cash) means they can put that money in the bank and earn some interest. When the stock is returned, they return the cash collateral.
So no, it would not and isn't.
