Yes, that's right. Observe:
>>> class MetaFoo(type):
... def __call__(cls):
... print("before")
... self = super().__call__()
... print("after", self)
... return self
...
>>> class Foo(metaclass=MetaFoo):
... def __new__(cls):
... print("__new__")
... return super().__new__(cls)
... def __init__(self):
... print("__init__")
...
>>> f = Foo()
before
__new__
__init__
after <__main__.Foo object at 0x00C55410>
