It's partly that. But also a lot of it is Google Chrome tends to just use a lot of RAM anyway. If you go into settings and actually limit the amount of ram it can have it's normally not a problem as long as it's not limited too much which means it doesn't actually need as much as it takes.
And it does give up RAM when it's required. It just likes holding on to it.
