Yep it's right. But it's not clear at all in the manpage. They only talk
about the client side, maybe they think it's obvious.

It appears that you indeed configure it as if you were receiving local logs.
Everything (local and network) go into the same file, and you have to make
the difference between local logs and network logs with string editors.
So in the /etc/syslog.conf, you can't direct logs coming from a certain
machine to a certain file, and others logs coming from another machine to
another file.
