No, I assume it didn't happen because no historian mentions it AND it makes no fucking sense from a Roman political/economic point of view.
I have heard some whoppers whipped up by xtian apologists for this one...including some sort of "settlement of the east" by Caligula in which Damascus was awarded to Aretas.
Here's a map:
Note Damascus in the upper right corner. Nabatea is off the map to the south. It would be like the US telling Mexico: "Hey, sorry about the Mexican War. You can have Colorado back. Oh, but we're keeping Arizona and New Mexico so good luck getting there, assholes."
To xtians, of course, this makes perfect sense because they are desperate for any straw they can hang onto for their fairy tales to be true. In the real world, it doesn't work.
