Ayup. Compressing heats the air - which is why the cooling vanes. Heated
air can hold more moisture, but gives it back to you when decompressed.

That's after compression and mostly to dry the air to the best of my
knowledge, its a big problem if moisture is not removed, at the other
end of the pipeline, try using air power tools with oil and water coming
out or painting with moister in the compressed air,
