Correct. I'm not a Schedule Wallah because it is quite complex and my eye glazes over at the thought but once an aircraft is at CLE or CVG, it is in the Apple flights system.
There are still a few short repo flights, such as MDW-ORD. So an A319 might fly DEN-MDW-ORD-PUJ-ORD (with MDW-ORD as a repo) but not back - ORD-MDW - until the next day to go back to DEN.
On some flights - ORD-STL-HUX/LIR - the ORD-STL segments carry (Apple) ORD pax to connect to flights at STL, which flights (STL-HUX/LIR) become both Apple charter and Frontier scheduled.
