Yeah, alot of people do that, but it dosn't help at all. I have heard that if you push the b button first and then the a button when the pokeball closes, it will always cature the pokemon (like a masterball). But I think it's BS.
No there isn't any higher chance of catching the pokemon by pressing different buttons. It is just a mental thing and most people think that by pressing a button it will help them even though it has no effect.
I have this slight obsession with catching all pokemon with pokeballs so after the first 5 or so fail (like with legendaries) I start doing different combinations of holding/pressing buttons. Btw, I do actually catch the legendaries with the pokeballs.
In red and blue version holding the B button when catching ACTUALLY helped to catch the pokemon so a lot of the pokemon vets such as myself still hold buttonsout of habit.
I alwayz did 4 sum reason, from red-diamond i still do. In fact now since I have my settings to be L=A, I hold down and rapidly press A and L.
p.s. I caught a Suicune with a pokeball, Giratina and Uxie with a great ball, Rotom with a quick ball, groudon with a DIVE BALL!, and Mewtwo, Zapdos, Azelf, Rayquaza, Latios, and Heatran, all with ultra balls (i've never hacked or known how i'm just this good)
When I played Pokemon Red, I always pressed up when the ball was thrown and pressed A really quick when the ball closed. My older brother told me it would help. He probably lied though. Haha.

I remember that, it was a huge thing even through Firered/Leafgreen. If anyone remembers the old cheatplanet, this was one of the things they listed as helping to catch a pokemon, lol.
i did it since b/r i will never stop it makes me feel that i cought it and on diamond i press a button and move my finger around the pokeball on the touch screen
