Yeah, that's the idea. A lot of the times, they've made jokes that don't personally directly actually relate to the characters at hand but still make for indirect references regardless, such as the "Shire-raq" reference in Tolkien vs Martin. While yes, the Romans did make people their slaves n stuff, the implication was very much meant to be in relation to black slavery in the US as well. I highly doubt that same joke would've been made had Caesar's opponent been white.
