Yes, that's correct. For maximum brightness given a limited amount of energy, you want all the light to be emitted at a wavelength matching the maximum of the eye's luminosity function. Of course, if the light is very bright, it will saturate your green cones, at which point you would want to stop adding 550nm light and switch to a wavelength that matches one of your other cones.
