Entirely correct, and that feature has been around for 5 years at least.

AI heliborne infantry and a few gunships will usually be held back till later in the battle as well. It's better to try to grab some (hopefully unguarded) objectives in your rear while your main force are deployed forwards than tussle for one in the middle .
