Yes, that's the intended workflow.

The assumption among libraries I've worked with is that staff need to manually
verify validity of the account, which generally means physically checking some
proof of address. In theory, one could automate the category change using the
update_patrons_category cronjob, but I'm not sure more automated is more
intelligently.

If you're also using the email verification step, then you're correct, those
patrons aren't in the borrowers table at all until they click the link in their
email.
