Basically, yes.

It means that given a DocumentRoot of /var/www/html and the alias directive:
Alias /here /var/www/somewhere-else
a directory section of
<Directory /var/www/html/here>
will not affect a request for
http://your-server/here/ as the alias
directive has told apache to map that request to a different directory.
you would need a directory section that points to the target of the alias -
<Directory /var/www/somewhere-else>
