No, each class of weapon does a different amount of poise damage, which is not affected by upgrading the weapon. Probably the easiest way to think about about it is in terms of a weapon's weight: a big, heavy weapon like Smough's Hammer will have more of an impact force than a small, light weapon (like a Rapier) would.

Anyway, I think that passage was supposed to mean that a Falchion +15 would have enough DPS to quickly stunlock and kill low-poise enemies. I'll reword it a bit.
