That's correct. You get the same result entering a whole rest directly (eg, 7 0). A whole rest is different than a measure rest. Whole rests are always exactly four beats and get left aligned like whole notes. A measure rest represents an empty measure in any time signature and is centered. Measure rests are created by deleting the contents of a measure, not by entering a whole rest.
