If we were to compare 2 people with the same cv but 1 has a 3.7 and other has a 3.5, then the 3.7 will be the one that would be likely accepted right?



Sure, but this doesn’t really happen in practice. There is a much larger variance among other factors (research experience, rec letters, SoPs.) That ensures that this type of situation pretty much never happens. Basically the answer to your “the higher the better” is yes, but the gain is so marginal it’s not terribly important.
