Your guesses are right. Typically you want to adjust a car around the tires to have maximum lateral forces capable for a given track. Everything is a compromise. You might benefit a lot by having a lot of camber in the corners, but you will lose under braking and acceleration for example. Its best to setup the car depending on the track and do lots of simulations beforehand if possible because track time and tires are expensive!
