Correct, the Mocal thermo plate has a permanently open passage to the cooler, there's no valve on it. There's also a bypass passage that skips the cooler, and when both are open it's the path of least resistance and gets "most" of the flow. When the thermo gets hot, the valve closes off the bypass path.
