Yes, that is correct from stract, It only takes a few minutes.
There is also a setting to change "sessioncookie" so that cookies for the two Moodles on the same server, do not clash and overwrite each other.

Also, if you are one of those servers that has a flat charge per database you use then I think that you could change
$CFG->prefix = 'moodle_';
in the config.php of the second moodle installation to
$CFG->prefix = 'moodle2_';
so that the two installations share the same database. I would not recommend it though.
