Indeed it is.  If you want the files to be world-readable (and it
sounds like you do), you should instead use something like this:

   create mask = 0664
   force create mode = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
   force directory mode = 0775

Note the last digit -- that's the permissions given to "others",
i.e. those who aren't either the owner of the file or in the same
group as the file.
