I think it's more complicated than that. I think it also includes the non-jitter part of the round trip time. NTP assumes the path is symmetric. Any constant asymmetry will turn into an apparent fixed offset. I think ntpd is smart enough to include that in it's calculations of the clock quality, but I don't understand the details. -- These are my opinions.
