Yes that is correct but that is not just or a boiler
1. As others have said, its a 3 port motorised valve.
2. If the controls call for hot water, it will divert the hot water from the boiler to the coil within your unvented hot water cylinder.
3. If the controls call for heating, it will divert the boiler's hot water to the space heating system (radiators and / or underfloor heating).
4. If the controls call for hot water and heating, it will send part of the boiler's hot water to each.
5. I don't like 3 port valves on unvented cylinders, as they may not cut the supply of hot water to the coil off. I prefer to see two 2 port valves, or an additional 2 port valve for the cylinder.

It’s not a case of liking a three port on unvented it’s not to regs full stop.
