Yes, rockets are basically soda cans full of propellant with rocket engines on the bottom and the payload usually on the top.
They are entirely constrained by thrust versus mass, so the designers make the structure as light/thin as possible while still being able to handle the acceleration forces when fuelled and pressurised.
If the weight of the rocket itself is too high it will not be able to lift any payload. If it is too light it falls apart in flight (or in one spectacular case, crumples in on itself when pressurisation fails).
