That's right.  And same for "emacs x a b".

The precise behavior is a bit more complex since those commands, rather
than just showing the first file may/will also show the buffer-list,
but if exactly one of the files is shown it should be the first in the
list and next-buffer should go in the order in which the file names
were given (until reaching the end of this list at which point it'll
hit things like *Messages* and friends and that's fine).
