Yes, but I wouldn't use the term "reflection points" because that implies the places halfway between your ears and the speakers. The rear wall is often the main culprit.

whats the deal with the arched or bowed piece of wood as a bass trap?
That's not a bass trap, though I guess it could be made into a bass trap. The purpose is to scatter mid/high frequency reflections. Curved wood reduces flutter echo, but it's not as good as a QRD type diffusor which also reduces comb filtering.
