Kind of.

In theory yeah different cables will handle different data rates.
Making sure the cables are installed properly (no twisting, listen to the minimum bending radius, terminate properly) will help

In reality I really can’t see a LAN cable being the weak link for an internet connection, not unless the cable is outright faulty.

For an internal intranet then maybe. Or maybe even an industrial office with internet. But a standard residential property I don’t see it being an issue.
