Yep, you're right. The cathode resistor sets DC levels but also provides negative feedback of the AC signal. A bypass capacitor removes negative feedback while retaining the DC stability offered by the cathode resistor. The same thing goes for the emitter resistor in a transistor amp. Unbypassed (or partially bypassed) cathode/emitter resistors provide local feedback in a single gain stage.
