Yes that is right you have to set the profile for it to run at 1600. All memory is made that way. What ever the default setting is of the base setting of the memory. The base set for that memory is 1333.

It is just like if you got DDR4 3000 memory the default base setting are 2133. Till you set the profile then if it is XMP supported memory than it should run at 3000.

All memory out there will always go to the default settings. To you change it in the bios to the speed of the memory.
