Pretty much. Couple of hours should give them plenty of time to cool off to "cold pressure" temp.

That's a miniscule amount, but lowering the tire pressure will give the following:
Softer ride
Tires will warm up a bit faster
Run a bit hotter (heat cycles wear out the tire, too)
Be a tad more sticky with aggressive driving.
They'll also wear out sooner.
