No this is flat out wrong, since the laws of the game are governed by IFAB, of which FIFA is a member alongside the Football Associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And even then it seems they're flexible in some regards - for example the Scottish FA permitted five subtitutes before IFAB updated the laws and the English FA had a similar trial in the past permitting four subs - both have fiddled with extra stuff like VAR.
I'll grant that FIFA have brought in restrictions on international loan signings - though that's hardly controlling the game the way the original comment implied
