In simple terms, yes. More appropriately, the lower the flex, the more power REQUIRED for the given conditions.
If it helps, all things equal and standard (QRH, OAT, Etc) if you "hypothetically" set flex to your rated temp, you would in fact have full-thrust. Again, this is just a generalization.
Guys, remember, this question asked for a general overview. Let's not get too carried away with the FCOM and Performance Chart specifics.
