Yes, that is likely the way it was done.
I know many productions that try to avoid the extra steps required to get great audio and the productions suffer for it.
The formula is this: you can have great video and mediocre audio and you end up with a mediocre production. But I have seen mediocre video with an exciting and A-rated audio track suddenly take on a life all its own. Another way of saying it is this: you have likely watched movies where the audio scares you even though the movie is not all that good. Audio cues are more core to the human experience than visual cues.
