This is a tricky question, because believe it or not, phones have been able to acquire spyware and adware for a while now - and will gather it over time if you use your phone's browser improperly (prono). This takes up memory.
Also, you have to think of what programs you have installed on your phone. They also take up memory.
I guess the correct answer to your post would be, yes (in most cases).
Wiping your phone clean deletes everything, as if you were formatting a PC harddrive. Everything is lost, viruses, spyware, the OS, and other apps.
If your phone has nothing but the OS, and you are wiping it to make way for an Updated OS, you may actually lose memory because a newer OS may take up more space. But, if you are just wiping it to reinstall the existing OS, there is a good chance you will gain memory from the operation, but never should you lose any.
Hope this helps.
