yes, boys have a greater lung capacity than girls because lung capacity is a function of volume of space enclosed by the rib cage, which means the lungs ability to inflate. Males have greater lung capacity because they have larger frames and usually have larger rib cages

Why do men have a higher total lung capacity?

All else being equal, lung capacity is a function of the volume of space enclosed by the rib cage, which is essential to the lungs' ability to inflate. Males, with their larger frames, tend to have larger rib cages. Lung capacity should not be confused with aerobic capacity, the ability of the body to acquire and efficiently use oxygen. That is a function more of physical conditioning than gender -- again, with all else being equal.
