Yes, surface charge is weaker than deep charge. This behavior causes a small increase in internal resistance as measured by the Beak. This increase, if the battery's internal resistance is within 10% of the threshold between 'Good' and 'Fair' or 'Fair' and 'Bad', could only cause a battery's status to appear worse than it would be if the battery had been properly rested. This is one of the reasons the 'Fair' Status exists, otherwise it would just be 'Good' or 'Bad'. If a battery is that close to the threshold you should probably reserve it for practice only.
