Yes, that is why. Shunt caps shunt more efficiently as the frequency is increased. Series inductors are also more effective at blocking higher frequencies. Also, a higher frequency is easier on the iron of a transformer, as saturation is also less likely to occur - that's why transformers rated for 60Hz don't work well at 50Hz, but transformers rated for 50Hz work fine at 60Hz.
