Yes, you are.

There will be a;;the RHEL engineers rolling all future changes into
Stream for all RHEL versions.

Right now stream is 2 people rolling in changes just like CentOS 8 .. it

In fact, if you look, the 240 kernel was released in stream BEFORE it
was released in CentOS Linux 8.  And, we have built and will release
this kernel very soon:
