That’s pretty much how it works, a copy jobs actually spawns other jobs that do the actual copy.
One thing about copy jobs that prevented me form using them the way I wanted (this may not be an issue for you as you have to SD’s online) is that Consolidation jobs for always incremental jobs works flaky with it, and has no provisioned for an offline copy. I ended up using the archive job for my offline second copy.
