Correct -- I believe this is standard procedure at all locations (of a certain size). Occasionally (seems like it's usually EWR) there will be a 'receipt' from that thing left in the car that also has vehicle details and line like "GOLD OK: YES" which I presume just hasn't been updated to reflect ultimate choice.
