Yes ... and no ...

This delay circuit is primarily built to delay HT to the tubes to allow warm-up and avoid cathode stripping. The sort of problem I'm referring to is caused by the high instantaneous current that you get charging the HT caps and to some extent, supplying initial voltage to cold heaters. A choke can help the HT problem as a by-product of providing other very worthwhile benefits. The link will explain a little more.
