Correct. However, `org-export-smart-quotes-alist' aims to be typographically correct for all handled languages, so it is not customizable. Also, this variable predates the new algorithm, so it introduces some confusion in its entries: there, "opening-double-quote" should be understood as "opening-outer-quote" and "opening-single-quote" as "opening-inner-quote", or some such.
