As a first approximation this is true. But ProxyPassReverse does not rewrite the body of responses. So if there is a wrong URL in the body, then this will not be fixed by ProxyPassReverse. It is mostly (or only?) for fixing the Location header in http redirects.

ProxyPassReverse in laymens terms?

I think thats a question for the Apache-web server mailinglist but...

ProxyPass "forwards" the request from the user to another web server
ProxyPassReverse "rewrites" the response from the other server before it comes to the user. (domain names in redirect-headers etc)
