No, you can't presume that. Depends on front derailleur design (manufacturer must choose a middle line between less adjustment needed and crisper shifting, and probably other constraints if designed for index shifting, chainstay length (longer = less rub) and range of rear cassette (larger range will be more likely to rub).
