That matches what I've been told, since the late '60s or early '70s. And what I've always done. In addition, if a flash has been stored for a long time, I was taught to fire off half a dozen full power flashes, allowing full recycle in between each, to "re-form" the capacitor.
I've heard of forming the capacitor but in 30+ years I've never paid attention to the condition of the flash charge light when I turn the unit off and I don't think I've ever harmed a unit one way or the other. I've dropped a few, but that's another story...
