Yep, pretty much, even if the stronger TK defense tends to equalize the greater physical armor with a weaker pilot - though make no mistake, a unit of ground mecha with tanks and infantry to cover their flanks is a highly effective attacking force as well.
For that matter, having a mecha bust through the wall is probably more disruptive than a bomb, since the mecha is quite likely to have guns or missiles to fire at the equipment and a pilot to direct them to greatest effect, instead of hitting kind of nearby and exploding in one place.
Range is even more of a factor than you're assuming, because the mecha are fusion-powered turboprops or turbojets (or turbine generators for ground units) though later production fixed form craft including tanks and ground mecha transport trucks are as well. Pilot endurance is the limiting factor, not fuel.
