Yes, this is how the standard implementation of 3F bankswitching
works. There are no special cases regarding the TIA, but if you
want to go for 100% acuracy, you should also note that the bank
will only be changed, if the next address accessed after the
write to $003F is in the ROM area. So a STA $3F will work when
executed from ROM but not from RIOT RAM, because the next
address on the bus will be the opcode fetch for the instruction
after the STA $3F.
