That is correct, and true for all of the gauges. As long as the pointer is between the marked zones at left and right, it's in the normal operating range by definition.
Charging voltage varies based on a vast number of different factors, including outside temperature. It can go up to ~15 volts and still be in range.

I have an AGM battery and the normal output (in normal mode with Auto Start/Stop activated) for the alternator is 12.2V when the battery is fully charged. It will deviate from that when braking or when it needs to charge.
EDIT: The above is relevant while driving in the city. I haven't followed battery gauge too closely on highway driving.
