It is correct. In v16, it was in lib/, in v17, bin/.

However, on Windows I think it probably makes (marginally) more sense to
include it in bin/ - we already have other libraries in there that are
linked at compile time. pgevent is something of a special case, but it's
probably more similar to those libraries than the extensions etc. that are
in lib/.

Related sidenote: I got a complaint today that pg_regress.exe is no longer
part of the Windows installation footprint - and indeed, it's not installed
at all with Meson builds, which is problematic for those doing CI/CD
testing of extensions.
