Yup pretty much. Doubling it for round-trip, 200 ms is a fifth of a second which is definitely noticeable in conversation.

40 ms is a twenty-fifth of a second, or approximately a single frame of a motion picture. That's not going to be noticeable in conversation all.

Of course both of these are on top of other sources of latencies, too.

200ms is noticeable but in conversation it's still pretty good, and certainly way better than the average WhatsApp call which is on the order of 0.5-1s.
