This is not necessarily true. That is a good measure, but
see: (self-promotion mode on)
Lacy, M. 2006. "An Explained Variation Measure for Ordinal Response
Models with Comparisons to Other Ordinal R2 Measures." Sociological
Methods and Research 34:469-520.

I did find, however, in parallel to what Richard Williams suggests in
another post, that while various ordinal pseudo-R^2 fit measures
might differ in their ability to approximate an underlying linear
model R^2, all the various measures have pretty comparable
performance as aids to model selection.
