Yes, I think that is an excellent way to put it.

I would put it slightly differently: people conflate "published in a top-tier peer-reviewed journal" with "true beyond reasonable dispute". They also conflate "not published in a top-tier peer-reviewed journal" with "almost certainly false."
But I think we're in substantial agreement here.
