Whether you build a single-family house with a yard or an apartment building on a lot absolutely impacts density. Hell, even among single-family houses, whether the minimum lot size is 9000 square feet or two acres (real zoning categories on my city, BTW) absolutely impacts density.

An apartment with a lawn vs an apartment without doesn’t impact density

Nor does a two hectare lot with one vs a two hectare lot without
