Yes.If I asked you what causes a 2 wheeler you are ridding to get vertical after it has tilted to go around a corner could you answer ?
Essentially the bulk of the force is due to the rider shifting their weight above the line required to maintain the turn, in effect unbalancing the forces in favour of moving one way. To a much smaller extent you can also slightly oversteer which will have the same effect. You can demonstrate this by riding the two wheeler hands free. It's quite simple to turn and unturn without steering input.
Using steering as the main force to lean is normally reserved for motorcycle racers who need very rapid movement.
Your hands are there primarily to damp the bars and provide part of the means to move your weight
