That's correct. Also of note is the mention of Burbank as Donald's hometown 
in at least two later Barks stories, which reminds me of an unanswered 
question I asked some time ago [quote]:

Being largely unfamiliar with the original versions of the Barks stories, I
find it surprising that Donald still mentions Burbank as his location in WDC
101 (Donald Duck's Worst Nightmare). I knew of its mention in the early
story Maharadjah Donald, but if Burbank still is mentioned as late as 1949,
I begin to wonder: Is WDC 49 (High Wire Daredevils) the only 1940s story
that makes Duckburg the hometown of the ducks? And from when on was the name
Duckburg used regularly?
