That is correct.

I think the AMS introduced `\dotsb` to separate the content and the
markup, since some publishers use the lower dots »…« and not the
centered ones »⋯« between operators. So `\dotsb` could just be
redefined.

Additionally amsmath defines it and to be compatible ConTeXt could
define it too.

Aditya more or less wrote the same in here response.


Thanks,
