Yes, that's right. See below for the crudest possible model for this oscillator. The transistor has been replaced with a negative resistance and its self capacitance in series. This is C4 and R3. The 39nH inductor is the total series inductance between ground and the base deep inside the BFR91. So it will be the 33nH of the SMD choke plus a few nH.
C2 is the shunt capacitance of the Rogers fixture PCB. I'm guessing it is around 0.5pF with strays etc.
With the model below the oscillator will oscillate at whatever the series network below is resonant at. You could work this out with an excel spreadsheet if you are bored and make it such that C5 varies across 0.1pF to maybe 3.3pF.
This will give you some idea what to expect in terms of calibration. I'm not sure calibration with real caps will be much more accurate than this crude model as many SMD caps have a tolerance of +/- 0.1pF.
But hopefully a quick play with the model below will take away some of the mystery of how this quick and dirty negative resistance oscillator circuit was designed to meet your requirements
Just work out the series equivalent of (C2+C5) and C4 is. The find the frequency this is resonant at with 39nH. (about 900MHz?)
Then remove the C5 cap (0.4pF) and recalculate. You should get something around 1050MHz. This is the concept of the design. You get a big frequency shift for a tiny change in capacitance but the fixture has to be very solid mechanically to prevent errors.
