Exactly, IPFS allows data storage and retrieval for Dapps to also be done through a decentralized network. That's the whole point of a D-app, not falling back on someone's central servers. The performance and scalability limitations of Ethereum make it virtually unusable as a database, application data definitely needs to be taken off-chain.

Also, the IPFS system contains IPNS, which allows users to host mutable content. Rather than navigating to the hash of a file, you're retrieving what's been signed by the publisher's key. So it's more flexible than just static content.
