That's the only effective application. It's not always possible to switch elemental mods, if you look at the cold elemental mod for many weapons, it is a D polarity while other elemental mods are V or bar.

Boltor Prime has a D slot in the top left corner and, if you are short on points, you can only put Cryo Rounds there and thus it means that if you don't use a forma, you'll be forced to have Cold damage in the first place and you'll only be able to do frost based advanced elements.
