Yes you're correct, but I used this port as well due to attempting to figure out why my wireless dongle for keybrd and mouse wasn't working any longer when it was connected to USB Host connection. When the dongle didn't work on USB host I then connected it to the USB hub getting the same result. This is when I attempted connecting the USB client connection to the hub and the Hub to the USB Host connect resulting in the arching effect. My thought is it broke my board.
