Exactly. The polish is an ultra-light abrasive sometimes suspended in an oil. This is meant to remove the lightest amount of oxidation on the surface of the paint, also to restore oils to the paint that may have dried over time. Polish is what actually makes it shiny. Wax gives the shine depth and protection.
Waxing alone is fine, but polishing alone leaves your paint shiny but unprotected.
