Yes.
121.6. Some spells and abilities refer to counters being "placed" on an object. This refers to putting counters on that object while it's on the battlefield and also to an object that's given counters as it enters the battlefield.

It does trigger the ability. Any ability that triggers on a counter being placed on a creature will trigger if it enters with one. Notably graft creatures, modular creatures or creatures affected by Master Biomancer.
