That is how I understand it, too. I call it rewriting Tolkien and revisionism to boot. Sauron was evil, and would have ended as nihilistic as Morgoth his master in time. Remember the Barrow-Wight's song about the Dark Lord lifting his dark hand over dead seas and withered land. The only reason Sauron was leaving Harad and Rhun peopled was to provide fodder for his armies.
