Correct, but there are multiple credible sources saying effectively the same thing. It was in point (1) of FCEng84's long clarification post earlier in thread: link

FCEng84 has posted good, readable, and apparently accurate information on MCAS from the start, I haven't had reason to dispute any of the other information so I would tend to trust this part too.
