That is true Ventura. Bear in mind though that a lot of the tropics are rainforested (or were) and many these bananas would be naturally growing in areas covered with mulches of dead leaves from overhanging trees, underbrush, etc, which would conserve moisture in the soil. Not to mention the constant high humidity and rainfall.
Kudos on the upsizing of the pots Matt! Bigger is usually better pot-wise when it comes to bananas, and they can put out roots like you wouldn't believe, so it certainly can't hurt
