Exactly :)

The only thing I would add is that the tag <cmp> is a "normal" tag (as
opposed to <compound-only-L> and <compound-R>, the special "hidden"
compounding tags). It's not strictly necessary to have it there do
compounding, but it is helpful.

E.g. in transfer, it's used to distinguish a compound from two nouns
simply following each other, and it's also very helpful in generation,
for those cases where the sg.ind form is not equal to the form used in
compounds (e.g. the Nynorsk word 'vatn' when used as the left-part of a
compound becomes 'vass').
