No, this is incorrect. called as 'cal' the intention is to be bit compatible with the original 'cal'. 'ncal' added the highlight option and as the man-page shows '-h' is only valid when it is called as 'ncal'.
Secondly highlighting when called as 'cal' was a (Debian) bug #9848389 which is referenced in the changelog for bsdmainutils (12.1.6): * Cal should not highlight the current day.
