Yes you are correct. As well as possibly having multiple HTML/htm files any ebook based on these is likely to have other file types such as .jpg and .CSS associated with them. Calibre collects all these into the Zip file, correcting the paths in any links if required. Having done this the zip file can then be managed as a single entity at the level of the underlying file system just like other ebook formats.
