Yes, that's correct.

True. Changing the default encoding may be useful before loading a  
non-Unicode file, but you'll need to change it back before reading  
any file that xetex itself has generated, such as the .toc or .aux file.

In general, I would strongly recommend using Unicode (UTF-8) for your  
input text, if at all possible.
