Yes you are correct. When WM 6.1 hit, it changed the names. so technically:

WMo 5 and less with touchscreen: Windows Mobile Classic:Pocket PC
WMo 5 and less without touchscreen: Windows Mobile Classic:Smartphone
WMo 6 and up with touchscreen: Windows Mobile Professional
WMo 6 and up without touchscreen: Windows Mobile

but the Pocket PC vs. Smartphone stuff when it comes to software still applies to touchscreen vs. not touchscreen
