Correct.  From the Jeppesen "J-Aid" ATC glossary (similar information
should appear in the AIM):

	PROCEDURE TURN INBOUND - That point of a procedure turn
	maneuver where course reversal has been completed and an
	aircraft is established inbound on the intermediate
	approach segment or final approach course.  A report of
	"procedure turn inbound" is normally used by ATC as a
	position report for separation purposes.
