Correct. The faint star at 8:00 from the bright companion star is the one shedding it's mass.

It’s almost hidden in the diffraction spike.
At first glance, the nebula appears grainy, like a film photo blown up too much, but that’s detail not seen before. It’s the nebula that’s grainy, and Webb has revealed that detail.
