Yes, this is pretty much the case. One can't find translation for 
a range that won't have any additional connotations because 
"range" is itself heavily overloaded word in English.

In my opinion:

"диапазон" is ok to describe a finite forward range
"последовательность" is solid generic term if you are not afraid 
of making mathematicians mad

I don't like "список" or "набор" because they don't necessarily 
imply iteration which is the most crucial aspect of range concept.

In practice I think it is OK to use any of those terms if you use 
it consistently within a book / article and explain its meaning 
somewhere in the very beginning.
