Correct. It's not intended as a tone control, its purpose is to nullify the phase shift of the coupling cap at low frequencies inside a feedback loop, and it can be as stable as direct coupling.This technique is used where direct coupling would be desirable but impractical. The resistor potential divider provides a workable DC level for the grid of the next stage, while the shunt capacitor prevents any resultant drop in signal level. You get a drop in DC but no attenuation of AC, like having your cake and eating it!
