Nope, doesnt work like that. If you selfdestruct, the bounty doesnt dissappear, it becomes dormant and can be reactivated within 7 days if a security ship (of the system/area you previously had the bounty in) scans you or if you commit another crime within the same vincinity/ vs the same authorities as before.

As the wiki clearly states :

.. if your ship is destroyed, but the bounty is not detected (i.e. self-destruct) then the following happens: The bounty becomes dormant and can only be detected by authority scans by agents of that jurisdiction and if detected will become an active bounty with a new seven day timer
