Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: The pellsson ROM doesn't keep time the same way that RTA runners do, so the times aren't comparable. It only counts certain frames where the game is in a particular state, but RTA runners have to count all of the frames so the times you see in the pellsson ROM should generally be less than the segment times you see in full-game runs.
For the record, a perfect 1-1 (with FPG) would register as a 28.28 on the pellsson ROM.
