Maybe, but why would he be sarcastic about that? It's not like he wanted to leave Blood Gulch and go to Valhalla. Due to the way he got nervous and annoyed when he found out that Sarge called him, he seemed like he wanted to stay and chill at Blood Gulch. Sarge, however, overrided his lying function and ordered him to come to Valhalla.

In short, there wouldn't be much of a reason for Lopez to lie or be sarcastic.
