Right,

only the address bar is not part of a web page,
it is not necessarily the same as the web page's URL
that is returned by the above js code,
so you can type into the addressbar, whatever you like,
untill you hit return, that is.

Some browsers could perhaps not even have an address bar,
and still be able to execute js.

However, for the suspected purpose of the OP, the answer is right.
