Correct. They are not 'finished off' at the ends by pigtailing a standalone spring, or by tapering or flattening the ends of a spring that sits around a strut. The consequence is the springs admit corrosion to the bottom ends, where they usually sits in a cup of corrosive road salt, then get snapped by a pot-hole or speed hump. Happens with all makes and model of European cars fitted with European manufactured springs, many of which come from Sweden.
