Yes, by teeing the ball higher you can increase your driving distance. Obviously there is a limit and it is possible to tee the ball too high. But when using standard tees it is most likely best to tee it higher with your driver. Tee height should be optimized to help you hit your best golf shot with each tee shot. With a driver it is best to use a height that puts the center of the ball even with the top of the driver, when the driver is sitting on the ground. This will provide consistent height and can be done with wood tees or a professional tee system using plastic golf tees.
