Yes that is certainly true. Before that he'd asked to come in to get fresh inters and the team told him to stay out. Afterwards the team, as you say, told him to come in and he said he was comfortable staying out. On the flipside, early in the race when everyone was switching to inters he said he wanted to stay on the wets and he stayed out for a few more laps until the team called him in for the switch.
The driver and pit wall have access to different information and balancing those and knowing when to overrule the other is definitely a key factor in success, and I agree Lewis does a good job of this. While Vettel may be the clearest example of this these days he's generally helped in that regard by what seems to be the Keystone Cops running the strategy department there.

Could be wrong but did Lewis not question the tyre strategy and go against the initial calls from the team? Personally i don't think he gets enough credit for the feedback he gives and his confidence to question the strategies.
