Spot on.
To take the mind journey further, lets say there is no simulation right now.
However we do, at some point in the future, develop computing power sufficient to accurately simulate a universe and everything in it. We delve into parts of the simulation and find Earth and all those living on it at the exact point they launch a simulation of the universe and everything in it. There would be a simulation running inside a simulation and no simulated organism would know it was just a simulation, inside a simulation inside a real universe.
