You are right...fromt he man page:
              ~/.menu-methods/
                     For users to override the system-defaults of
                     /etc/menu-methods.     If   this   directory
                     exists, no files  in  /etc/menu-methods  are
                     read any more.
and:
              ~/.menu/*
                     Menu files added by the user. (Isn't read if
                     root runs update-menus)
