You are not correct. 1) rsync copies the source file to a temporary file on the destination. 2) If and only if step (1) is successful, rsync renames the temporary file to the final filename. 3) If and only if step (2) is successful, rsync sets the timestamp on the destination file to match that of the source file, assuming the --archive or similar command-line option was given. There is no possible sequence of events that could give you a destination file with the same size and timestamp as the source file and yet be incorrect (just so long as the source file has stayed the same.)
