Your assumption is correct.
You can mismatch configurations not just by querying in a wrong
configuration, but also by accidentally storing tsvectors generated with
different configurations in the same column (with no additional column
like Mike Rylander had to tell them apart), but it's still going to lookOK from PostgreSQL's point of view.
