Kinda, but I mean if you did a story about say the Saint Patrick's battalion it would follow similar beats in that sense. Taken in by a faction, told these people are your enemies, realize they are actually the victims, switch sides. It is a distinction, but not a big one
I hate to say it cause it is so mediocre but, Captain Marvel is exactly this idea
I'd say it's more of a "twist villain" rather than the hero being convinced the villains were right.
