That is correct.

You can also get the same effect by emailing an EPUB with the file extension changed to .jpg. That will trick Amazon into running the file through kindlegen for you.

One downside of either of these methods is that the azw3 file delivered will have a generic cover thumbnail image in the Kindle's library view instead of the actual book cover. I think that is a reasonable tradeoff to get syncing and custom fonts, but others may disagree.
