Exactly. Besides being in love (and unable therefore to judge the Doctor impartially), Jack sees him as a role model and hero. Something he aspires to be. It's important to Jack to have that pedestal, that goal, and that sense of 'an identity to strive for'.
This might be at least partly because, though he has a strong sense of self, he has made himself out of the identities of other people, living one pretense after another. He finds heroes and makes himself like them.
