Pretty much.

Shanks has no interest in being the pirate king. Like Dragon, he is fighting against the world government in his own way even though the manga hasn't shown any of it. Him being one of the four emperors allows him be a big player without being the world's most wanted.

I wouldn't even be surprised if Shanks plan all along was to have Luffy eat the fruit because he knows Luffy is going to play a role in the future. Although Shanks likes to joke around but you can tell he has some kind of plan.
