Correct, Dave - the strike zone stays over the plate no matter where the batter is standing.

In rec "fast" pitch - in quotes, because these pitches many times have a bit of an arc, the pitcher are slow and the coaches will put the batters up in the box, and then complain with a pitch that is dropping down across the batters face is a strike.

There are many variations of this theme...

A skilled pitcher with a lot of movement catches the outside edge, but by the time it hits the catcher's glove, the pitch is obviously well outside.

etc., etc.
