Yes, as has been posted many times by many people over many years, it is just a record the notes and/or hightlights have been made, and when. I don't know why this always fails to sink in. Maybe it's partly because of the notes processing apps that pretend it's a real notes repository.

And even for the present day I would disagree: The Kindles sync notes to the website only for e-books purchased from Amazon. And how would one get access to notes and highlights belonging to sideloaded books?

No, it has always been essentially a log file. The actual notes and pointers to highlights are in the .sdr directory for the book (regardless of where the book was obtianed and how it got on the kindle).
If you are actually interested in actual facts about kindle notes, highlights, etc., see the KRDS thread:
