I notice you said "can" and "if". Does DRM actually use the TPM or not?

Depends on your definition. If you count video game anti-cheating software as DRM, the answer is yes. Apart from that, I’ve only currently seen TPMs used as a hardware identifier (in the same way a monitor serial is) for software licensing. The capability does exist however.
