Correct. I assume the thinking behind it, is that you use that kind of table for huge amounts of inactive data, so it doesn't matter if your selects are a bit slower. Also, keep in mind that because it is a compressed file format, you will be scanning much more data per physical read than with a regular table, and so the table scan will be quite a bit faster, too.
If there are specific values you tend to use in where clauses all the time, though, you can always consider partitioning the archived table.
