You are correct, that is exactly what it is.

I'm pretty sure the term comes from what you would see if you were standing at the "curb side" 8)

From this coming weekend's Heartland Model Car Nationals class list:

Curbside…Model which does not employ an opening hood, doors, or trunk, and is not meant to display engine or chassis detail. Judged as if parked at the curb, without access to the underside

They do judge the interior in this class. Most of your imported kits fall into this category, as do domestic snap kits. Hope this helps.
