Yes, that is correct.  Pseudo-programmatically:

    People_To_Show = []
    for Person in People_I_Watch:
        for Second_Person in People_Person_Watches:
            if Second_Person in People_I_Watch:
                next
            else:
                add Second_Person to People_To_Show

    Entries_To_Show = []
    for Person in People_To_Show:
        find Recent_Entries [security=public]
        add Recent_Entries to Entries_To_Show

    sort Entries_To_Show by post time
    display most recent 25 entries from Entries_To_Show

Okay, you get the idea.
