IMO, I'd say that is a correct assumption.

Sometimes when you state your opinion on here, people take it as if you are claiming what you're saying as fact. So prefacing your statement with IMO or IME makes it clear that what you are saying is opinion or personal experience rather than fact.
At least that is why I do it.

It indicates humility and an understanding of the subjective nature of the subject. For example "IMO V=IR" doesn't make sense, you'd just say "V=IR". But OTOH "Fenders have floppy B strings" needs an "IMO" or an "IME" in order to not be a troll or flamebait. It's all about netiquette.

It's like saying: "I think that..." Of course you think that! GAH! I'm just coiled the wrong way today. Oh wait, I didn't mean GAH as in IME or OMIGOD, just as in a sound effect. Back to your previous engagements...
