Yes that's true IIRC. And update explicitly rebuilds the cache. That's not a huge issue, unless you are sitting around running apt-get update in loops.
It is not possible to rebuild only changed parts, except for /var/lib/dpkg/status changes. For making that work, a second cache is generated; we cannot do the same for every source list.
