Yes it's normal.
Congratulations on your steady hand on the wheel.
A minor inconvenience can become major if the driver over-corrects.
It is a complicated process; first the wake from the truck pushes against the back of the trailer, which tends to make the front of the TT go slightly toward the passing truck.
Then when the wake gets to the front of the TT (back of the tow), it tries to push the back of the tow vehicle slightly and makes it feel like the tow is going toward the truck.
If you only notice one deviation from straight during a pass, you are lucky and/or have a good setup.
I too like US routes that are not Interstates.....but you have to be extra careful when stopping. Not many things in little towns take motorhomes and big trucks into consideration when they lay out the parking lots.
