Correct.

An aside: the gh-pages branch used to be the only way to publish at GitHub.
But for a few years now one can also use a directory (or even the root dir
and everything below it) in a repo. I prefer that and often use docs/.

It avoids the dance between branches. Other people prefer the seperation into
another branch. As always, each to their own, and good to have choices.
