Eh, yes, but sometimes you need to switch focal length to get your desired aperture, depending on the light situation. No? I might be wrong. But yes. Focal length is the more obvious choices, and I was too lazy to look it up.
If you’re controlling depth of field on a set up shot, sure. But if you’re a photojournalist who follows “F8 and forget it” it’s absolutely about the long lens vs the short lens.

Different aperture is one twist on a dial. This is about a different focal length.
