No, it doesn't.

AT commands also don't make it onto your phone line, after all. They're for communication between a host and a modem/baseband, not between a host and another host or even two modems.

Well, there are commands that make the modem talk to the GSM network in specific ways.

For example, *SC*123123123# sets up call forwarding to that number.
