That was true once upon a time but has not been true since about 1995. IND$FILE uses a 3270 sub-protocol called "structured fields" and can transfer up to 32K of binary data in a block.
It's still single-task and half-duplex, and layered into TSO, all of which makes it a lot slower than FTP, but it is NOT 3270 screen oriented.
