Yeppers. Same time for all size planets. Some folks recommend that you just build the plants on large and huge world for that very reason. If you spend the resources building the plant on a tiny world, you just get 4 extra facilities. If you build it on a huge world, you get 20!
Building the plants on anything but a 'none' atmosphere world takes too long. Much easier to just capture enemy empire colonists who breathe the right atmosphere and transplant them.
