Well, yes. You need to take into account all the layers between you and
the remote OS. I can report experiencing all kinds of lags to machines
not very far away, and also almost instantaneous response to machines
half a planet away.  It just depends on how performant the various
connections are. But, it's not ssh that introduces the lags. It's other
factors like the quality of internet connections among the machines
involved, or how your host OS handles a resident shell application in
the case of Cygwin.
