load balancing modes

[mountaincode2]

I am looking at the following document:

https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/backend-service#balancing-mode-lb

In the table (Balancing modes available for each load balancer) in this section, how do i decypher this table. Does it mean the following:

balancing mode for each load balancer

• Global external proxy Network Load Balancer > Instance groups backend > CONNECTION or UTILIZATION balancing mode
• Global external proxy Network Load Balancer > Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints) backend > CONNECTION balancing mode
• Global external proxy Network Load Balancer > Hybrid NEGs backend > CONNECTION balancing mode
• And likewise for each load balancer

Would the following be correct:

Load balancer	Backends	Balancing mode
Application Load Balancer	Instance groups	RATE or UTILIZATION
Application Load Balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT)	RATE
Application Load Balancer	Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP)	RATE
Global external proxy network load balancer	Instance groups	CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Global external proxy network load balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Global external proxy network load balancer	Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Classic proxy Network Load Balancer	Instance groups	CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Classic proxy Network Load Balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Classic proxy Network Load Balancer	Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Regional external proxy Network Load Balancer	Instance groups	CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Regional external proxy Network Load Balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Regional external proxy Network Load Balancer	Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Regional internal proxy Network Load Balancer	Instance groups	CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Regional internal proxy Network Load Balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Regional internal proxy Network Load Balancer	Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Cross-region internal proxy Network Load Balancer	Instance groups	CONNECTION or UTILIZATION
Cross-region internal proxy Network Load Balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Cross-region internal proxy Network Load Balancer	Hybrid NEGs (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT endpoints)	CONNECTION
Passthrough Network Load Balancer	Instance groups	CONNECTION
Passthrough Network Load Balancer	Zonal NEGs (GCE_VM_IP endpoints)	CONNECTION

Did i get this right?
