Yes, a suppressor does not reduce the total recoil as the gasses still exit forward, but it slows the release down and so gives you a smaller force over a longer time which adds up to the same amount but is more pleasant to shoot.

Think of it as if you sit on a skateboard and I ninja kick you in the back and see how far you roll, then I gently push you the same distance, you have experienced the same total amount of force in both occasions but the second is over a longer period and much more pleasant.
