No, it's not correct. The right place you should refer to is:
UpdateVariable (
   [snip up to l.2279 or so]
    //
    // Setting a data variable with no access, or zero DataSize attributes
    // causes it to be deleted.
    // When the EFI_VARIABLE_APPEND_WRITE attribute is set, DataSize of zero will
    // not delete the variable.
    //
    if ((((Attributes & EFI_VARIABLE_APPEND_WRITE) == 0) && (DataSize == 0))|| ((Attributes & (EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS | EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS)) == 0)) {

This is correct.
