Basically, but there are more differences that come along with that.
Most of the development work within Ubuntu itself is focused on Gnome,
so any GUI-related improvements will fit better in Gnome than in KDE.
For instance, I hear that Synaptic is better than Kynaptic is,
although I've never used it. Also, a lot of things in the pipe for
Breezy are programs to make tasks easier to do from a GUI, and those
will be GTK/Gnome programs. They'll still run on KDE, but you lose out
on integration and a consistent look and feel.

The best thing to do is just try both and see which one you like
better. If you don't find anything to set them apart, I think the
scale tips towards Gnome in the Ubuntu world.
