Basically 99% yes, but for an up train at Nunawading, the
Auto will clear for a stopper before the booms are down,
(usually when the booms first release), the Station & signal
being not immediantly adjacent to the crossing, but about 3
car beyond.  In this case, the design engineer must have had
faith in the correct operation of his timers :o)
