Yes, that's right. The chip is only good if the people who find the dog are honest and want to give the dog back, or if the vet double checks to see if the people match the real owners. But not very many vets do that, even though it should be mandatory. So it's like with the chip you only have 50/50 chance of getting your dog back.
