Yes, that’s right. Same as the Christian trinity or trika in Kashmir Shaivism.
Beyond symbols, look at it this way:
A thought is created
The thought is sustained
In time, the thought is destroyed
A breath in us is born
The life breath enlivens us
The breath is then relinquished
Ego (identity) is born
The ego is then nourished
The ego is finally annihilated
