That is correct, assuming that you are dealing with one User object that is compositing an Address object. Sean already explained using a gateway to bring back multiple of users and their addresses together.
Assumign one User object, you could run one query to get the address for the single User, populate the Address object with that data, and then all of your method calls would just be reading the instance data from the Address object. There shouldn't need to be any additional queries for address information.
