Controlfile backups interchangeable within primary and standby?

Data Guard Concepts and Administration says and I quote "Backups of standby control files and nonstandby control files are interchangeable. For example, you can restore a standby control file on a primary database and a primary control file on a physical standby database. This interchangeability means that you can offload control file backups to one database in a Data Guard environment. RMAN automatically updates the filenames for database files during restore and recovery at the databases."

Does that mean backup taken on the physical standby database of the controlfile using "RMAN> backup current controlfile;" and then doing restore operation at the primary database using "RMAN> restore controlfile from '<backuuppiece generated by the first command>';
