Correct, and in the instance of a "Counter" the "Count Statistic as Difference" option should be used. The difference is that there is no math being performed on the number beyond polling for the value twice and subtracting the first value from the second. It's not possible to get the "per-second" value without first understanding how many seconds there are between polls. In this instance you would divide the number by 300 if the default 5 minute polling interval is used.
