Yes, increasing bit-depth is not re-sampling. Increasing bit depth is a bit like changing currency. Let's say you have a value in your pocket of 100 pounds. Increasing bit-depth is like converting that into 10000 pennies. The value is the same but how you count it is different. In the case of pennies, when you perform a calculation on the value (like divide by three) you get a more precise result. In pounds you would get 33 pounds but in pennies it's 3333 pennies, a much more precise result.
That's why bit-depth is increased prior to doing things like digital volume control. The increase in bit-depth itself does nothing to the data though.
