Correct! Insects have spiracles that basically passively exchange air. Max size is basically determined by this.

IIRC, some caterpillars only stop growing and pupate when they run out of a growth hormone.

I always wondered what would happen if you grew them in a high oxygen tank and supplemented their diet with the hormone.

Maybe get a Mothman that way.
