Yes, that's correct, at least for the first method (grep).
I mentioned that in the previous mail (it was omitted from
the quote):

However, the second method uses a few hacks so the plist
files from most ports are included, even dynamically
generated ones.  There are still a few exceptions, in
particular those linux ports that use AUTOMATIC_PLIST,
but those are only 10 out of 16,925 ... so I'm not 
terribly worried.  :-)

For example, searching for "inflate.java" will correctly
find the port archivers/jzlib, even though that port
generates its plist dynamically.

Best regards
