Yes it is more than likely the brakes, you could first of all try putting some copper grease between the caliper and pads.
If that does not sort it then more than likely it will be aluminum corrosion on the mounting face of the caliper where it connects onto the hub, causing the caliper to be out of alignment. If you take the pads out and find them to be worn at an angle then it will be due to this. Clean the face and fitting new pads should sort it out.
