For sure.Even with that, Bumi's powers are superior to hers in every aspect but metal. While she can do metal bending, she cannot bend without touching earth/metal- which Bumi can. So you can't say metal bending makes her better. Bumi has been more impressive anyway, he is the best earthbender in the world. Toph is an amazing prodigy nonetheless.
I think you may be mistaken. What Bumi did that was impressive was earth bend with his facial movements instead of the traditional "kung fu" looking movements. Toph doesn't have to touch the earth to bend it either, but she wasn't shown bending with just facial movements alone.
