Yes, correct.

Cool. In fact I have been doing something very similar but using
CentOS 7 and Docker. It would not be that hard to add AppImage
generation, see
https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/inkscape/Recipe.
However the distribution you are building on should be as old as
reasonably possible, because that makes the resulting binaries usable
on more systems. I had tried CentOS 6 but then given up because
Inkscape seemed to need newer versions of many dependencies (or at
least the autotools were thinking so).
