Yes, that's probably a fair way to think of it. For example, if you spend more money on your
player development budget, this can improve the chances your younger players will reach or exceed their potential and do so more quickly. Here's a quote from the manual page I linked:

The more money you spend in player development, the better the chances are of your younger players developing, and more quickly. However, it is no guarantee.

One of the
Player Development pages from the OOTP 21 manual explains a number of other factors than can effect player development, including coaching/management, playing time, player potential and individual qualities, age, level of challenge/competition, injuries, spring training, chance, and your player development modifiers.
Reading that page will hopefully tell you how everything works, assuming that you're using all the relevant features in OOTP, such as spring training, the coaching system, minors, etc.
