It doesn't necessarily work that way.  Many newer stereo TVs have
separate direct video and audio (left, right) inputs.  You can
connect the 1 video and 2 audio outputs from the VCR into the
corresponding inputs on your TV.

Your last statement is technically correct, though.  The TV doesn't
see an MTS-encoded signal, but rather two separate audio channels.
