That' s correct.

You shouldn't have to add any code to get this particular feature
working. The snmpd daemon is basically scanning the /proc filesystem for
a process that is named <insert_your_name_here>. It does have to be an
exact match, IIRC (i.e., "proc ntp" won't find processes named "ntpd"),
but you should know what your process is going to be named, correct? =)
