Yes, that's right, though if necessary the flight crew can change the location, that's by exception only and on a swift turnaround the usual protocol is to upgrade to fill up seats, rather than move curtains around. Those upgraded at the desk or who refreshed their app at the right time may have got lounge access (but I bet not many found out in time).
There may have been a trim issue too, but by putting people in CE then they do have access to better drinks arrangement. On a short flight the SCCM member would have had that to contend with, along with the food issue and therefore threw in the towel.
