Yes, this is right.

I frequently build in MLCad using multipart models. In fact if you build your
base model as a separate part (explicitly create a new sub-model when starting a
building session) when you are happy with the design export that base model (sub
part), it will grab all associated sub part files and create a nice flat .ldr,
or .dat file for you. You can render this out separately, or import it back in
to another file. (it’s a bit of a pain losing the component nature of the
model's structure though)

Cheers
