Exactly. For immigration and customs purposes, as well as for money, Hong Kong is treated like a separate country.

It's a bit like arriving in the USA. Even if the bag is checked through to your final destination, you must still walk it through customs before handing it back to the airline, even if it is already tagged to your final destination.
