Yes that is the way it SUPPOSED to be. But Kona does not have selvedge markings. I have personally seen employees at JoAnnes put non Kona fabric on a cardboard bolt with the Kona tag. They aren't doing it to be deceitful, it is just that most JoAnne employees I have come across are not sewers, let alone quilters and don't know one fabric from another. To them it is just a solid color that looks the same. I have also picked up bolts of fabric at JoAnne that were marked Kona and could tell in a second it was not Kona cotten by Kaufman.
