Yes.

And second question, what is the value of matrix recordings? My assumption/guess is that the point is to use each recording to enhance the strong points of the recording so as to create a more full sound (appropriate crowd noise, bass but not too much, drums but not too much, etc) than either recording might represent standing alone - is this correct? Is this the spirit behind matrix recordings, and are there other reasons beyond this one for creating them?
Yes, mainly to polish a soundboard recording by adding in the audience and to make the instruments sound like they werent recorded in a room. And for the audience recording - to make the instruments clearer.
