Yep correct - rarely changes - just get a reliable DDNS service and a decent modem/router that "gets" DDNS. We use a DOCSUS 3 modem in bridge mode then have a Billion box plugged into it. Seems to work well and we can get to our NAS through it just fine. However, bit by bit we're moving it all to Azure anyway so hope soon to not care about local IP address.
