Correct.

There are also many different types of equal temperament tunings.

Roland popularized the notion of stretch tuning with their sampled keyboards. Most tuners will turn their nose up at the mention of it and give you a detailed explanation of what they will do.

Most tuners will make the piano sound good - but I never let them leave until I have played every note. A recording really can pick up on the slightest untuned note.
