Yes, that's correct. The upstream port has multiple functions: one for
the bridge and one for the management/NTB endpoint. In the driver, we
have absolutely no reason to touch, or even know about, the bridge
endpoint. This is all very configurable and you can disable either of
the endpoints in the switch's configuration. And the NTB endpoint can
have all the BARS configured with any reasonable amount of BAR space for
memory windows. In the NTB world, there are never enough BARs or address
space within them.

The upstream device, with both functions, looks like this on my system:
