Exactly. The force that binds the disc is pressure * area of the caliber pistons. The static pressure of the hydraulic brake system is the same everywhere in the fluid. The bigger main cylinder has larger area than before so you have to apply more force to get the same hydraulic pressure per square millimeter.

And if you compensate this by adding more mechanical leverage at the brake lever, you end up right where you started.
