Um, no. It doesn't matter if Back to the Future's writers knew about Star Trek III. It matters if Star Trek IV's writers knew about Back to the Future.

Back to the Future was released in July 1985. Filming for Star Trek IV didn't start until February 1986. It's very believable that the Trek writers knew about Lloyd's role in Back to the Future as they were writing the script for The Voyage Home.
