Correct.
The opposite 'squiggly arrow' fiddles the indirect object, so perhaps this
would print "FOO" on standard error (modulo the STDERR syntax, which I think
changed when I wasn't looking):
$foo ~> print <~ STDERR;
Bad Philip! Wicked, wicked Philip!

One *might* argue that <~ ought to be of higher precedence than ~>
(i.e. that invocants ought to be bound ahead of other arguments).
If so, then:
$foo ~> print <~ $*STDERR
is really:
$foo ~> print $*STDERR:
is really:
$foo ~> print $*STDERR: $foo
So yes.
But don't do that!
