That's correct.
You get plenty of warning prior to the stall, and even if you get into
the stall you maintain roll control.

Most light airplanes give plenty of warning, are reluctant to stall in a
turn, and if really obliged to, gently lower the upper wing, regaining a
wing level attitude.
Some homebuilts are not so well behaved, often due to discrepancies in
wing rigging.
All the above assuming the slip ball is reasonably centered....
Otherwise, you may enter a spin, and MANY light aircraft might snap
towards the lower wing....
