Er, surely not... the list object is a list, the objects inside the list are ints. They do not behave the same.

reference to an ordered sequence of object references, and you're operating on those (referenced) objects rather than copies of the objects when you iterate over the list. Is that correct? If so, no doubt there's a simpler way to say all that?
"A list is an ordered sequence of objects. When you iterate over the list, you see the contents of the list, not copies. Python never copies objects unless you explicitly tell it to."
