Yes, this is technically true, because Mr. Bennet inherited his estate and Mr. Bingley has to purchase his, because his father was a tradesman, albeit a wealthy one. His father's goal was to purchase a family estate so his son could be a gentleman and move up in rank with every successive generation. In other words, to join the same class of landowners with estates as Mr. Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

People tend to forget this because Bingley's wealth puts him on more equal footing, and because his sisters (especially Caroline) are a snobby hypocrites who sneer at the Gardiners for being in the trade even though their father started the same way. It's subtle for modern audiences, but I think in Austen's time people would've understood.
