Kinda. The exact quote for it being lowered down without heating up from reentry is
“the added ice would cool the water down by only about a millionth of a degree”
But yea essentially useless in the big scheme of things.
The ice would be massively better used in space habitats or terraforming other places.
Unfortunately, comets would affect the Earth’s temperature in another way. In addition to dust and water, they contain a small amount of CO2, which would be released into the atmosphere as the comet melted. This CO2 would change Earth’s radiation balance
Hmm, not actually true, but I only know this because there is a what-if covering this exact scenario:

You stopped reading too soon:
Right you are I missed that. So comets at least aren’t workable.
