Yes, that's right.
FYI: the firmware .zip file contains thousands of files but patching is only done on 4 of them. The local copy of the .zip file is there so that each of the 4 files can be extracted /patched/rezipped according to the list of patches you've enabled for that file. The 4 files end up in a much smaller KoboRoot.tgz file which is then drag-dropped to the Kobo's /.kobo directory. The 4 patched files will be auto-replaced on the device after safe USB disconnection.
