Yes, I think that is the general tenor of their apology and payment.
If you take a look at the article I linked in that post there is a movement in California to try and gain additional compensation for the POW's and civilians who survived forced labor working for various Japanese zaibatsu. The Japanese contend, as did the Germans, that their corporations are covered by the blanket payment. This did not work in the case of German companies and may not for Japanese corporations.
I am no legal scholar so may have misunderstood the article but I believe that is the basic thrust of it.
