Correct.
They usually have multiple code names for a single product during development.
For example, Chicago was the code name of the expected Windows 4 that became Windows 95.
Memphis was the codename for the expected Windows 4.1 that became instead Windows 97 and released as Windows 98.

They even recycle code names, so Metro was originally the code name for the Open XML Paper specification before it became the name of the WinPhone Gui style.
