Yes they do, but no they do not always. If you look at any suit of armor in PF you will see an entry for "Max Dex Bonus". This entry is the maximum amount of dex bonus that can be applied to your AC while wearing this armor.
The rule is based on the simple idea that the bulkier and heavier the armor is, the more it restricts the wearer, thus they can't as effectively move out of the way, or dodge that sword aimed at their head. Thus each suit has such an entry, HL knows this rule and accounts for it.
