It all depend what actual device the part was based on, but essentially it is as you say. Relay bases have a long history.
Find the data sheet for the actual relay you are going to use and pick the footprint from that. My suspicion is that the device in the library is a DIL16 part so you would need a 16 pin DIL 0.3" footprint for the library device if you are using the same part that the library is created for.
