I think it is correct. Isn't that why they call it a Smart Jack? I've only ever seen a regular cat5 cable used from the Smart Jack to the device (router/PBX/CSU/DSU/whatever).
I believe the point of the smart jack is, amongst other things, to allow for the use of readily available cables. I agree however that "back-to back" (PBX-PBX etc) you would need a cross-over cable.
