Also, it just came to me, if Sans is so good at reading your expresion that he can count how many times you have died, shouldn't he be able to tell by looking in your eyes that you have previously commited Genocide, even after a true reset? Ah. Here we'd have to get into Frisk's relationship to the timelines.

Short answer is, I would say, no. For one important reason: in a True Reset, Frisk is reset as well. Frisk reacts the same way after a True Reset as though the game is being played for the very first time. If the game is normally reset, Frisk reacts in ways that make their foreknowledge apparent (turning around immediately to shake Sans's hand; looking bored at Mettaton's musical; knowing to turn Mettaton around immediately), but these reactions are absent after a True Reset. So there is no expression to read, because Frisk is not actually aware they completed a Genocide run (since the game undergoes a True Reset).
