Correct. 5.1 is considered "production quality", also called "GA" (= "generally available"). It does not receive feature development any more (features must be finished before the software is declared "GA"), but it receives bug fixes and some further performance improvements (monthly updates). Of course it is made by humans, and humans may make mistakes, so there may be a 5.1 version with problems, but in general you should always take the latest 5.1 version while that series is active. As of today, this is MySQL 5.1.50. When 5.1 reaches its end of active (support) life, this list will see mails about that, together with information about the successor.
