Correct.
And all old Chabad siddurim say "Siddur Tehilas Hashem al pee Nusach Ari."  None say "Nusach haAri," because most Chabad rabbis in Europe knew it was not Nusach haAri."  The famed Chabad rabbi R. Lavut wrote long articles explaining what the siddur of the Baal haTanya was actually meant to be.

IMHO:
The name Siidur Tehilas Hashem al pee Nusach Ari
Is a lot less misleading than the "short handle" 
"Nusach Ari"

Many of these "shortcut" names are misleading
EG Cheshvan, leading some to mistaking MAR as a stand alone honorific.

Ein kan m'komo but there are many many many such misperceptions.

Nusach Chabad works. I often call it the Siddur of the Alter Rebbe or of the Ba'al Hatanya.
