Pretty much, but just to make it even simpler for Pre 2021 non-UK EASA holders they can continue to fly G-reg in the UK until the end of 2022 using their EASA licence and a validation document free to download from the CAA.
For those UK EASA licence holders who did SOLI before 2021 it's mixed - if you new EASA licence issue date is before April 2021 then same as above. If not then until you apply for and receive your new UK licence (no timescales given) then you cannot fly G-reg in the UK.
Great for pre-2021 non-UK EASA licence holders, which is wonderful for my fellow professionals in that situation, and makes perfect sense.
Not so great for former UK EASA holders whose SOLI dragged out outside of their control.
Awful and nonsensical for UK EASA holders who in the future want to fly under EASA and didn't SOLI out before 2021 through their own choice or because their employment circumstances made it impossible.
