This is correct. My wording it kind of poor, I will change it. The pump is always creating pressure, which is just sent back to the reservoir when the car is in the neutral position. When the car is loaded the valve then sends the pressure to the accumulators and struts which expands the struts and causes the rear to lift until it hit the neutral position again.
