Yes all that is true.  The "weld" command joins vertices that are 
proximate and describe complete faces that could be "bridged".  It is 
useful to restore the join along a loopcut when you have temporarily 
divided your geometry into separate objects for some reason.  I do this 
loop-cutting/welding frequently in conjunction with magnet actions for 
instance.
