Yes, it's correct. An object's methods aren't things that exist in memory with the object. They're in a completely separate section of memory, and a method exists exactly once regardless of whether you have one object, a million objects or zero objects. You can even go so far as to `delete this` and the world doesn't explode. See https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/freestore-mgmt#delete-this (Obviously, I wouldn't actually do this without extremely good reason since it's very easy to make mistakes and completely screw things up, but that's not what you asked.)
