Yes, it does seem that Rohan was represented in the films as being far more primitive than depicted in Tolkien's works. Especially the great, golden hall of Meduseld (rather underwhelming in the films). I imagine Saruman's speech of insults stuck with the film-makers more than even they realized, so that it influenced the picture of Rohan in their own minds and as a result, also the films.
