I thought it worked that way too, and asked same question a few months back.
Although you already got some answers, I suggest reading the tread here:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/23677/
I also suggest (as Peter Popov suggested me in the tread above) you try out
DoF.inc, it really helps a lot when setting focal point and aperture. You
can find it here:

Good luck!
