You can shoot 24 fps with 1/2000 frame rate if you really wanted to (I can do this with my DSLR). If you were to shoot a moving object, it would look very jerky and odd, because you are "freezing" the motion with each frame, there's no "motion blur".
The typical rule for natural looking video is that you want to use twice the frame rate for your shutter speed. So for 30 fps, you use 1/60th of a second for the shutter speed.
I'm not sure how GoPro handles shutter speed, it may lower the shutter speed. In which case, yes you are right, it is a lower shutter speed, hence more light, but you had the details a bit off.
