I am pretty sure this is correct. The first and last exons of the "earliest
starting" and "last ending" transcripts contain the UTRs too and that is by
definition the bounds of a gene. What would not be contained are the
flanking regions and that sounds right as they are not parts of the genes.
A quick way I use to check what coordinates correspond to what regions, I
choose the "Sequences" radio button in the attributes and can see the
diagramatic representation (red boxes) for each kind of region.
