Yes that's right. It's a foam protector. Doesn't seem all that great. I might be wrong as I don't know much about this stuff but it doesn't inspire confidence in me. My RST leather jacket seems to have a much better one which I think is ribbed too.
I was thinking of getting this one for my textile jacket to replace the foam one:
