exactly, the ferrite only affects common mode current. you can think of coax as being composed of 3 conductors, core, interior of shield and exterior of shield. above some frequency and below frequency where coax starts to work like a waveguide, internal surface and core carry opposite currents (differential mode), and external surface carries common mode current. these can be treated as separate, except at the ends, because of skin effect. but also you can use twisted pair, because differential mode currents cancel out there
