Yes, that would be a good supposition. I have very little knowledge of
turbofan engines, and the three-stage ones are a real mystery. A
malfunctioning or mis-positioned fan section could easily create a compressor
stall.
I have often heard of turboprops being referred to as turbofans with an
infinite bypass ratio.
