That understanding is correct. In fact, that type of technique is one of those recommended to use Great Suspender safely.

I should note that the manifest can specify an 'update url' that would enable auto-updating behavior: and it does, in fact, appear that this extension does. If you remove that line from the manifest, that behavior will cease.
