Correct - from 
<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/Proper
tyListKeys/Bundle_Keys.html>:

  The CFBundleIdentifier key specifies a unique identifier
  string for the bundle. This identifier should be in the
  form of a Java-style package name, for example com.apple.myapp.
  The bundle identifier can be used to locate the bundle
  at runtime. The preferences system uses this string to
  identify applications uniquely.
