If only! In practice, there is no such guarantee; I've seen several Linux-native titles release breaking updates (anything from mild annoyances to rendering it completely unplayable) for a long time, sometimes for several months. The studio is very likely to de-prioritize or even ignore bugs report because the market share on Linux is just so insignificant.
There is also the fact that some games actually run better on Linux under Wine than they do with the native version.
I don't have data, but I'd guess that the Wine project resolves more issues in Linux games than the studios do with their native ports.
