I'll give it a qualified "maybe." I'd want to see more about both sides of the story. It's apparent that there was an agreement in place as of last year, but not any information about why it fell through. Yale claims the pieces that were collected prior to 1915 were covered by a concession grated by the Peruvian government; that the terms of the concession were adhered to; and that pieces collected after 1915 (when Peru passed a law preventing removal of such artifacts from the country) were returned shortly after WWI. There are two sides to everything, and I haven't seen Peru's side yet.
