That's correct.

Immediately after the release Testing and Stable are identical. Unstable
is unchanged.  When the freeze is lifted packages that have been waiting
in Unstable begin to flow into Testing.

Packages that have been bug-free in Unstable for ten days are linked
into Testing provided all dependencies can be met and that no freeze is
in effect.  They are *not* removed from Unstable.  Packages that have
migrated to Testing remain in Unstable until they are replaced by new
uploads.
