Essentially, yes, but don't call a cifti index a vertex, and note that it
is specifically the left cortex vertex 68.  You may also want to look at
the -cifti-export-dense-mapping command:

http://www.humanconnectome.org/software/workbench-command.php?function=-cifti-export-dense-mapping

There is also code available for C++ and matlab that will read cifti files,
including parsing the xml, and give access to these translations directly,
the two github links here:
