Precisely.

And I submit that Adepta Sororitas Orders vary at least as much as Astarte Chapters. The Six Major Orders' institutions were influenced by the ideas and personalities of six different women and each succeeding Order Minor is likely to be at least as divergent as Space Marine successor-chapters. The planetary cultures from which they recruit must also have some effect. I would submit that an order operating in Ultramar for example would follow the Codex Astartes a lot more closely than one based on a less Astarte influenced planet.
