Yes, that's correct.  There are at least a couple reasons for this:

1. SURBLs should reflect what actually appears in URIs. If a
domain name is in the spam URI, then the domain name goes
onto the list.  If an IP address is in the URI, then an IP
address goes on the list.

2. Using SURBLs should not require names to be resolved into IP
addresses.

You may find the FAQ of interest since it addresses some of
these issues and others in some more detail.
