That is absolutely correct when flying slower and or long winged aircraft, especially gliders, but you just correct for what the aircraft does. Not doing anything the aircraft will end in a death spiral, graveyard spiral, have seen several names for it.
Thermalling in a glider you will end up with rudder into the turn, and ailerons out of the turn. (Cross controlled).
Gliders won't turn on ailerons alone because of adverse yaw. I have tried, holding the camera with my hands, the stick with the knees, and no feets free for the rudder - not possible, way better to leave the stick to itself those few moments a picture takes.
