As a general rule, I think that's a good description, although the distinction between "rhythm" and "lead" guitar is not so clear with SY's music. One song with a pretty clear distinction would be "Bull in the Heather." I always liked Lee's lead on that one.
I would say Thurston's parts are more central to the structure of their songs, whereas Lee's parts add embellishment. In many cases, if you removed Lee's parts, you would still recognize the song, whereas that's probably not as true with Thurston.
