Yep. In practical game terms, things like "A campaign based on the early books should be TL3, later books are TL4", "My character is very backwoods, has a level of low TL, and so finds stagecoaches weird and will have trouble learning to help crew this modern ship", "Dr. Lawn has managed to learn medical skills at TL4 or better when every other doctor in Ankh-Morpork seems to be working at TL2", and "How the heck did Urn of Ephebe pick up three levels of Cutting-Edge Training anyway?" are real and significant considerations.
