Not exactly! In addition to the two last lines you wrote, it
reverts the direction property of all the following objects:
Stem Tie Rest Slur PhrasingSlur Script TextScript Dots DotColumn Fingering

If you for example only want to revert the effect corresponding
to \stemDown or \stemUp, you could use \stemNeutral, which
is shorthand for
\revert Stem #'direction
