That’s right. The significance for pilots is that, with low airflow over control surfaces which gives a mushy feel, you also have a high angle of attack which means you are approaching stall as flow over the wing separates. So the plane is harder to control but you’re also about to fall out of the sky. Stalls can also occur at higher speed in high g maneuvers, so mushiness isn’t the only indicator of approaching a stall. But it’s pretty reliable in straight and level flight.
