The answer to your question, more or less, is "yes"!
The only input the transmission has to determine shift point is throttle - there's a cable going from the throttle body to the transmission. It would work better if the tranny were aware of boost pressure but it's an old design and doesn't work that way.
Bottom line is the shift points should always be the same *for a given throttle position*. If you find it shifts at different RPM's even with your foot in the same position, the cable might be binding or there could be an internal problem.
As other posters have indicated, if you're ambitious the best "adjustment" you can perform is to swap the automatic for a 5-speed ;^)
