Unless they added an update that did that within the last few months, no, ammo does not take metal from the dispenser. Metal is only taken from the dispenser when you or another engie has missing metal when next to it.
Badger:
oh

I always thought that was the case and tried to avoid dispensers in set up so I wasn't taking metal away after firing my gun

I could've sworn they affect the meter/amount on it

I remember that too, but now they don't anymore. It's another step from valve pushing players to be more offensive with engineers (encouraging them to place dispensers in the front lines rather than their nest). If you can, place your dispenser in a place where everyone can easily get to it.

I'm dumb.
Regulith:
If the wiki is to be believed, dispensers have never pulled metal from reserve to give ammo

Thinking they did is likely just the result of believing that to be the case when you first started playing and learning the truth later
