That is certainly true. Without a great visionary at the top who gives them direction, who understands marketing, design, and technical matters, who is as obsessed about the tiniest details and who makes the right decisions when necessary the best team of people would not have been getting to where Apple got to. And part of being a leader like Steve Jobs is to recognize talented people and get them to join your team.
The point being --- the same support team without Steve and nobody would ever have bothered. But Steve could easily have assembled a different team and that team would have gone to do similar things. He was the driving force, the one who had the final say on everything. Not to mention the great show he put up at product introduction.
