Pretty close, .. actually the DSL signal can add noise to a regular phone,
so the purpose of the blocks is to *prevent* DSL signal from coming
through on regular phones. Otherwise, some phones can product a lot of
static noise when a DSL signal gets through to the earpiece.

An option would be to put a *single* DSL block on the jack where all your
phone lines plug into the demark (the SBC equipment in the basement or
outside wall).
