Seems to be that way, yes.

Yes, I think if you install either VNC on your PC *and* then launch the
server app on the PC you will be able to connect, yes. TightVNC has the
option IIRC to install either server or client software--you will need
only the server software.
From my experience, the install for TightVNC is a no-brainer and
launching the server app is also more or less a no-brainer. I say just
go ahead and try it--you may find that you don't really need any
documentation for the basic functionality.
