Essentially. The purpose of the rule is the allow for normal line blocking without a lineman committing a foul for being downfield.

Good job on finding the rule, now keep reading.

In addition to the Redding Guide that ajmc recommended, I've found the NFHS Rules by Topic to be useful in learning the rules. This book breaks the rules down by topics and includes case plays from the case book in the same section.

It also expands when the umpire stands over the ball during a time-out.
