Yes all the above information is correct.
If you look in your engine bay, the radiator cap is not on the radiator, but on top of a small aluminium tank at the highest point of the cooling system. This is so that after the engine is turned off, the water heated by the turbo rises up to the coolant header tank, where it mixes with cooler water and travels down towards the radiator. As this happens, more cooler water from the block rises and cools the turbo. This continues until the turbo is the same temperature as the block.
