I find that hard to believe. First of all, I can't help but see a little bit of "JFK will be run by the Vatican" in that kind of thinking. Also, even if Romney was taking orders from Salt Lake, I doubt the folks there thought they could micromanage his Presidential campaign. Empirically speaking, his father ran as a socially moderate, fiscally conservative Republican. Harry Reid is the Senate Majority Leader for the Democrats. And Mitt himself was his father's kind of politician while serving as Governor of Massachusetts. I don't know for sure, of course, whether running as the MBA candidate would work for him, but I think it might have.
