Yes, that's really the way it is (unless AI CS3 has changed this).  
You have to manually match the size in Document Setup to the size of  
what you want represented as the graphic before saving / exporting  
to .ai or .pdf because the current Document Setup size is used as the  
document size in the .pdf.

Lengthy discussion of this here:
