Yes, that's the idea. When the generator runs out of fuel, the transfer switch automatically switches back to commercial power (assuming it's back on) and you can go retrieve the generator at your convenience.
Actually I stole most of this idea from Nate Burke.

So you plug your portable generator into the "Inverter" side of this switch? And I imagine then you can leave the generator there and let it flip back to utility power on its own. Is that the idea?

Photo shows a TS-15 but there's also a 20 amp version. We've also put a Leviton male outdoor outlet on the side of the enclosure so you can plug in a generator without even opening the enclosure.

Sometimes people are just so lazy it makes me doubt humanity. All I got out of Facebook so far with this questions is idiots mansplaining hack about things I already know. Anywho: If you know of a product that exists that fits the bill, please point me in the right direction because I'm having a hell of a time finding it. Basically this, but AUTO TRANSFER instead of manual: http://www.steadypower.com/products.php?product=Reliance-CSR201L-Transfer-Sw itch-%2820A%29
