Yes, exactly this.
There are nooks and crannies between my throttle body and intake valves, though, that water might accumulate in. I get a funky knock on the "road test" afterwards but no permanent damage. It's enough to worry about, but not enough to stop me.
If you have a plastic accordion intake for example there are lots of pockets water could sit in.
