Correct.

A nameserver declares itself non-authoritative either because it hasn't
loaded the zone at all, or because it detected serious errors when
loading the zone. In the first case, there's nothing to transfer. In
the second case, it would be transferring an erroneous, probably
incomplete, zone, and this doesn't seem like a good idea; it's better to
have the slaves continue to serve the last known good version of the
zone.
