Looking at my tests I'm confident that it does generally mean that, yes, hence you can leave isolation early if you test negative. But you could also be infectious and test negative, or no longer be infectious but still test positive (after 10-30 days or whatever) so it's clearly not a hard and fast rule.
My partner's were very similar to mine

In December my partner got it and it was only after 8 days that I eventually tested positive (then a full 10 days before I was released)
Could have been delta instead of omicron. Both were rampant then
