No, there really was a 2 projectile at a time limit on "Galaga". It sounds like XBLA just ported the arcade version. Maybe you are thinking of a different game? Or maybe there's a home version or something where you have infinite fire?
The 2 at a time was an upgrade from Galaxian where you could only have 1 out at a time, lol.
EDIT: Here's some footage of Galaga

And someone made vids of 360 Galaga and it looks like they got it just right:
