Absolutely correct. On certain overnight flights from CMB, KHI (when they flew there), they would dedicate the back part of J as crew rest seats. I've even seen them place a belt around the seat saying "crew rest seats."

Meal service is usually abbreviated on these night flights as most people want to sleep. However, if you wanted to be serve midway through the flight, it certainly isn't a problem.
