Correct! One is their international airport, the other is Andersen Air Base.

The airport to the NE is Anderson AFB. The one in the middle is the commercial airport... which can handle everything up to and including 747s. I understand they cut the top off a mountain for it.

There’s also a US Naval Base located on the island - on the western tip. Very interesting island - lots of Japanese tourism, very scenic.
