Exactly. There's absolutely nothing new in this. Cell towers constantly keep track of your device in order for it to communicate with the system. But it was my understanding that usually it was the tel-com company who dealt with the data and they weren't stored locally. But with the growth of location-aware (and context-aware) technology it makes sense to use the data for apps on the device as well.
