Correct.

Clients usually try to get around this by requesting more data (= a
larger bbox) than they really need. For rendering, this has to be done
anyway because an object directly outside the bounding box may be
drawn in a way that affects part of the boinding box (e.g. a POI which
lies just millimetres outside).
