Correct.

You can only dump from the aft galleries on a 380 so the aircraft will quite feasibly still be overweight for landing.

However this isnt isn’t normally an issue. In a dire emergency you can return immediately and land at MTOW.

If if there was a flap/slat issue then they probably dumped just to reduce Vapp and landing distance a bit and not to hammer the brakes/tyres.
