Not at all. These are just internal numbers used to assign a priority to each stream. The BBC iPlayer and apps will try the stream with the lowest priority first, and if performance seems lackluster or there's an error they will try the stream with the next highest priority and so on.
So those numbers are a red herring. Even so there are some dramatic differences between the sub-modes. I haven't tried them all but hlsvhigh1 and hvfxsd5 both download at about 60Mbit/s, while hvfxsd1 only manages about 14Mbit/s.
