Yes, you're right. But you could also make the strips this way, which is a bit less sewing for the blocks.

The blocks are set on point.

Like OP, I'd never have seen that! Once pointed out, it's easy to see, but on my own - not so much!
I also covered the black portions of the picture posted by Baloonatic, so I could see what it would look like if not set on point. The on point setting really makes it look so different - and, in my opinion, prettier. It's a lovely quilt.
