correct.
if you have already a local web/database server running, this is the 
recommended setup.
you'll have the chance to thoroughly test everything before transferring 
changes to the live installation.
additionally, you always have an automatic backup all the time :)
just configure the upload profile in quanta correctly and you can sync the 
remote site with just hitting 'F8' ..

in this case, the live system is also the test candidate (not recommended) - 
see above.
