Probably more so with APs like human geography, seminar, and research which may not have any direct equivalent to courses offered at most colleges. However, oldies covering common courses like calculus are more commonly accepted for advanced placement. Also, high school students who go beyond AP level in math typically do not repeat their AP calculus before taking multivariable calculus or other more advanced math at a local college.
Sometimes, students do this for grade-grubbing purposes (although not always successfully if they pay too little attention to the course that they are repeating the AP credit for).
