That is correct ASSUMING that both sides of the folded dipole are the
same size wire. It is possible, by selecting the wire sizes carefully and appropriately, to make the input impedance of a folded dipole just about anything you wish it to be from about 50 ohms up to over 1000 ohms. See: ARRL Antenna Book 17th Edition, page 2-33, figure 28.
