If it comes with an adjustable Q (=series resistance), then yes - the dB increments will not be accurate.
However, they can and will be accurate between the left and right channel if switches are used and the coils & caps are matched well enough. My home-cooked passive EQ (filters in parallel) is very accurate L to R. But that design couldn't be done with pots anyway..
