Maybe. The true objection to Berkeley is that ideas still are distinct from God, and therefore require a "space" in which to exist. Additionally, sensible objects are subject to alteration, whereas God knows everything in one act of knowledge. Thus, that space must be subject to temporality. Thus, the "mind of God" is distinct from God Himself, and merely a metaphor for the visible universe. Thus, God might indeed directly support the existence of "space/time", but the objects included in the universe are derivative of the fundamental forces of which they are constituted, at a remove from the point of origination.
