Yes this is correct.
What I wonder about now is why Ubuntu at original install time decided to make
such a tiny boot partition?

Is there any way to enlarge the boot partition or move /boot to be located below
/ instead (there is pleny of room in the / partition...
Right now it is on a different disk and mounted into /boot...

Again, this is in a VMWare ESX environment...
