That's the gist of it, yes. The big advantage atom interferometers have over classical IMUs is that they do not need to be recalibrated every so often. They are thus often called "drift free". That still means that you need to compare your position with a reference after a certain time, but the position uncertainty is much lower and only determined by the error accumulating from integration, not due to the instrument itself degrading over time and introducing systematic errors. The reason here is not really "quantum magic" but rather the fact that the reference for the measurement is a laser beam which can be controlled with remarkable precision and accuracy.
