Correct. Then, for manufacturing info (i.e. gerbers), some people are asking the outlines to be on Mech Layer 1. Some 3D third party PCB viewers also require outlines on Mech Layer 1. It can get more complicated, as for specific design purposes outlines on other layers could be necessary. So I just copy and paste them on top of each other on all different layers.
