Yes, exactly. Because they're just numbers, not routes, the brackets simply mean "if you want the bit of the A11 that goes to Norwich, it's this way", not that the road is both A14 and A11. Interestingly[1], looking on G**gle Str**t V**w, even the few erroneous examples of signposting "A123 / A456" without brackets appear to have been replaced now. I knew of one, at Monmouth, and (thanks to a SABRE thread) there appears to be one at Caerphilly too. The Kendal example sometimes cited has been replaced.
