In principal the thought is correct but literally it's quite incorrect.
The cutoff for LHD vehicles is such that light goes up from centerline ONLY right of center, but when properly dialed in the light on the left side will be bright straight out from centerline.
Here is a visual of how that works. Notice the beam on the driver side (LHD) stays nearly horizontal. The passenger side (right in this case) rises quite a bit to illuminate the world especially road signs.
