Yes..

It's just how it works.

From the documentation on http_access:

         If none of the "access" lines cause a match, the default is the
         opposite of the last line in the list. If the last line was
         deny, the default is allow. Conversely, if the last line
         is allow, the default will be deny. For these reasons, it is a
         good idea to have an "deny all" or "allow all" entry at the end
         of your access lists to avoid potential confusion.
