Yes, you are wrong, "man perlre" says:

Named groups count in absolute and relative
numbering, and so can also be referred to by those numbers.

The same does "man pcrepattern":

Named capturing parentheses are still allocated numbers
as well as names, exactly as if the names were not present.

From pattern point of view, it's just an human-friendly alias for
a capture.
