Yes that is correct, but you are turning the axle shaft upside down
to fill the other end, so then the can you had just filled runs out of the can into the boot!

Relax, you are overly concerned..
If you filled it correctly = the volume includes more than enough for proper lubrication, and will flow where it wants to be upon vehicle installation.
When installed on the vehicle the question has no useful meaning, this is an engineering - design fact that has worked on many millions of vehicles for more than 36 years in the field.
