Yup. Usually, when a vehicle is designed, wheels are designed with it to specifically fit the hubs on the axle. When after market wheels are employed, they are usually a "large hub" design so they can be used on a variety of axles. So the hub is "machined to fit any axle, as long as the lug placement is standardized".
Here are a couple of websites that address the differences:

For someone who wants more information, a Google search for "Lug centric vs hub centric" will provide a "machinist's education" with days of reading.
