Its as simple as asking, Does Ps2 disc ruin your lens, Disc and ps2 game disc, whats the difference :P So just to make sure if you understand the answer is No, only 5% chance it would.

No cheap media uses crappy dyes which wear down your PS2. Memorex is horrible. Good DVD-R's won't wear your laser down any more than originals.

2. Q. Does the type of media I use matter?
A. YES: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/240341
If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Ritek, Sony, TDK, Maxell, Sony or Phillips DVD-R's. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, etc.

blank media will never be as good as originals. They can get close but never 100% as good. So to some degree they will wear out the laser more but not by much more (if you stick with good quality media that is).
