Is it possible to "gluelessly" connect several Altera IPs via Avalon-ST interface?

From:

http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/mnl_avalon_spec.pdf

Page 35:

"All Avalon-ST source and sink interfaces are not necessarily interoperable. However,

if two interfaces provide compatible functions for the same application space,

adapters are available to allow them to interoperate."

Does that quote means, that inserted Avalon-ST Adapters ( in the attached screenshot ) are in fact "Avalon-ST Video -> Avalon-ST" converter blocks ?
