Haha touche. 
Exactly as you say, for the most part. Think of it in terms of air flow and density. Reducing restrictions helps air flow. The intercooler acts as a restriction, but with positive effect on air density (because of the cooling) - the net effect is beneficial, but to gain much from it the boost output from the turbo must be increased to counter the loss across the intercooler.
