Yep, it would be it. But please note that the postfix smtpd under Debian (and probably Ubuntu as well) runs in a chroot environment. You can see this by looking in your /etc/postfix/master.cf file, look at the line with smtp in the beginning and look in the right column for the chroot. Which one that is should be documented in the top of the file. If the smtpd runs in a chroot environment, it will expect the lmtp socket relative to the chroot path, normally /var/spool/postfix, so the correct complete path for the socket would be /var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/socket/notify ;) This created a lot of headache for me when configuring sasl, until I figured it out.
