That is correct. I think it's a fishy way to build time. Being the safety pilot is hardly quality PIC multi-time. Skywest, for example, doesn't allow this sort of time to count towards their mins (as told by an ex-Skywest interviewer who is now at Alaska).

At the same time, everyone is doing it, so you won't be alone.

Don't forget, the minute the foggles come off or the minute you go into actual IFR, there is no need for a safety pilot and it's not legal to log the time. It's a stupid loophole in the FAR's, if you ask me.
