That's correct for CAT5E and above. Due to the different twist spacing difference there is also a physical length difference. Not a problem for Ethernet but when CAT5 cable is used for analog video as in a KVM extender, this causes some mis registration of the analog RGB over a long run. ALso when used to extend HDMI, this timing skew causes problems in the digital RGB data as a well. The delay is typically corrected in these applications by variable delay lines in the CAT5 receiver.
OF COURSE THIS LENGTH SKEW IS IRRELEVANT AT AUDIO FREQUENCIES FOR THOUSANDS OF FEET!
