Ahhh, yes! That _is_ correct, assuming you don't consider the SCSI
Controller as a _device_ of its own!!
If the SCSI controller card is on one end of the chain, _IT_ must be
terminated, just like any other device.
The primary reason for termination is to dampen the signal reflection that
occurs on each end of the bus – so properly designed SCSI controllers will
work best when both ends of the _physical_ bus are terminated.
