that is correct! and from the FAQ over at twop:

Question:
What's with this "Mrs. Kravitz" thing? The character's name is Mrs. Huber.
Answer:
When Jessica was a kid, she watched a lot of Bewitched, a show about a witch married to a mortal man -- perhaps you've heard of it? Anyway, said witch -- Samantha -- lived next door to the nosiest woman in the world, named Mrs. Kravitz. Mrs. Kravitz was always spying on poor Samantha and seeing all kinds of things she oughtn't, and then telling people about them. No one ever believed her. Mrs. Huber is clearly the archetypal Nosy Neighbor Lady you're polite to, even though you know she's watching you and judging.
