Is it true that evaporation causes a cooling effect?

Yes. Reference and physics sources state directly that evaporation produces a cooling effect, with the mechanism being that higher-energy molecules leave and lower the average kinetic energy of the remaining liquid. Several applied studies also describe evaporative cooling in specific settings such as spray containers, transpiration, cooling fabrics, and semiarid climate.
