Yep.     From the FAQ:

The emulation level for xterm is set via the resource decTerminalID, *e.g.*,
to 220 for a VT220. Once set, applications can set the emulation level up
or down within that limit. DEC's terminals are configured in much the same
way by a setup option.

Yup... .Xresources has "decTerminalID: vt200" but that still doesn't excuse
it for misbehaving as one. ;)   It also doesn't do DECDWL or DECDHL when it's
set for vt200.

Note that the value should be set to "220", not "vt220", nor "vt200".

Actually, for me:

xrdb -query | grep decTerminalID

gives

*.vt100.decTerminalID: 220

Check that you have things actually set correctly... If you just have decTerminalID, it will not even be associated with xterm. (Xresources are often a somewhat obscure thing.)

DECDWL and DECDHL works just fine for me. That could be a font issue in your environment.
