Yes. Because RAW is a Lossless file type.
Jpeg is a Lossy file type.

Every time you open, close & save a Jpeg you are losing quality it compresses the picture each time
but when using raw it doesn't throw bits of your picture away.

Always convert to TIF because it's compression is better.

Another thing with RAW & Jpeg:

Shooting with Jpeg automatically adds white balance etc
where as RAW doesn't letting you set your white balance in Photoshop.
