Yes that is correct.

The action function is the function that jump to another position than
the initial one in buffer B.
Where buffer B is `anything-current-buffer' and BB is `anything-buffer'

To reproduce with anything from any .el file:

M-: (setq anything-samewindow t)
M-x anything-imenu
Jump to any position far of your initial one in this buffer.
