Yes, that's my understanding of how the feature works. You need to have the Gmail web site literally sitting open at the time the call comes in to answer the call that way. I'm sure Google will expand the API before long to allow for friendlier third-party apps. I'm also sure that calling functionality will be sprinkled throughout their search features in due time.
