I think it's a stretch. I think that if you're going to look for the origin of the ontic/ontological distinction, a better bet is the controversies in German Neo-Kantianism in the 1920s and 30s, Husserl, and Aristotle. I see little evidence that Heidegger was interested in Marxism at all -- his one brief (positive) reference to Marx is in the Briefe uber den Humanismus, in the context of trying to appeal to the Marxophilic French intelligentsia. It's a strange lacuna in his thought. (He did of course consider the ideologies of the USSR and US to be identical in essence.)
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
