Not quite. The better RAW converters will respect the in camera WB setting if 
desired also the embedded JPG file is created based on the camera RAW setting. 
I always try to set the WB when shooting RAW then I also have a reference as 
the the prevailing lighting.

My advice would be to shoot RAW set the WB as per the lighting conditions and 
tweak colours to warm the image during the RAW conversion.
