You’re right.
But I don’t know of any more reliable and bloat-free way to set up KDE Plasma on Ubuntu. Do you?

This won’t install the latest KDE in Ubuntu, it will install the version of KDE that Ubuntu provides in its repositories. As new KDE versions come out, they will not be included in 18.04. Also, installing kubuntu-desktop package in Ubuntu isn’t recommended as that will combine Ubuntu-proper and Kubuntu into one, which will lead to unpredictability. That package exists to turn ubuntu-minimal installations into Kubuntu.
