Correct, but I don’t agree with:

There are debatable conventions in notation but it’s a hard rule to use 
centered whole rest symbols for full measure rests—according to Gould 
only in complicated music from the 20th century (complicated rhythms 
paired with many time signature changes) you might deviate from that rule.
