That's actually very likely. Besides famous example where actual people get confused - like "half drie" is "half past two" or "two thirty" (so if Dutch person is telling me time or number in English, I double check by repeating it to them in Dutch).
In my experience Google Translate often does silly things like mix up AM/PM, day and month, and often enough it even flips the meaning (say "not required" somehow becomes "required") when translating Dutch to English.
So every now and then (when it's really important stuff) I also double check the original Dutch version.
And yeah I should do it more often, or even just turn off automatic NL to EN translations...
