That's true(ish) :-)

Specular reflection: Like billard ball highlight, apple surface highlight,
etc. The reflection is focused on an area.

Diffuse reflection (not specular :-): Paper, wood, etc. These are also
called Lambertian surfaces.

(If I were the coder, I wouldn't use the term "specular", rather only use
"reflection". So it doesn't confuse anyone's mind - just like in this
example. There are already more than enough technical terms in KDE :-))
