Nope, it doesn't. That's because the --form option creates a
multipart/form-data posting, which isn't at all that commonly used as the
application/x-www-form-urlencoded style that --data does.

I know this is confusing to many people and that the docs may not give a
very clear distinction, but -F/--form and -d/--data are not freely
interchangable. You need to use the one that fits the form you're about to
"fill in".

Then use the --data. That's the way to do it.
