Yes, that is it!
Originally, I thought it would be cold or warm air, like in all the cars I owned before, but this is the explanation.
This is the best for hot climates: cool air to keep temperature down in the surrouding, but not directly on the face.
That is also what is explained in the BMW videos:

Generally, I find the videos quite helpful, better than the manual.

Looking forward for more good hints from you later Alligator!
