No, misfire means fuel not properly ignited by spark plug . . .
blocked cats will cause exhaust fumes to back-up and choke the engine's breathing---unlikely to cause misfire at idle (low exhaust volume) but not at higher rpms (high exhaust volume).
I would VAGCOM your ECU fault codes first, then start theorizing. It could result from ignition problem (plugs, coils, amps, etc) or air/fuel mixture problem (too lean usually) or carbon deposits pre-igniting or detonating fuel early.

How ever a Misfire is caused either by poor spark plug, bad ignition lead, bad coil or dirty injector...
