Default Right Side / Left Side Orientation

First dumb question of the day. When right side or left side (as in RR or LR) is mentioned in the shop manual is the point of reference looking from the front of the car, so RR would be drivers side rear?
Thanks

Right side is passenger side and left is driver's. Front is engine/headlight end and rear is tail light end.

RR is passenger rear when sitting in the car looking forward.

Everything is as you are sitting in the drivers seat.
