Correct.

If you visit dnc.org.nz and look up the domain name in question you'll see several paragraphs/sections in the response.

The 'Registrar' is the service operator that actually registers the name in the .nz system.

The 'Registrant' is the defined owner of the domain name.

The other contact information there (Admin and Technical contacts) is just informative information that has no official standing.

https://dnc.org.nz/nz-policies/operations-and-procedures-policy/ states:

7.1 Registrars register domain names on behalf of Registrants.

7.2 Registrants must be identifiable individuals over 18 years of age or properly constituted organisations.

7.3 Any eligible Registrant may register an available domain name at the second or third level on a first come, first served basis.

7.4 The person named on the Register is the legal Registrant and therefore holds the licence to use that domain name.

7.5 The applicant, in lodging the request for the domain name, warrants that it is entitled to register the domain name as requested. For example, the applicant warrants that the proposed domain name does not infringe any other parties’ rights.

7.6 Disputes regarding whether an applicant has a legitimate right to a name can be dealt with pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Service policy. DNCL has no role in deciding who has rights in such disputes.

7.9 The Registrar must ensure that the domain name is available, that mandatory fields have been supplied, and that the relevant fields have valid formats (e.g. domain name format, e-mail address format).

7.10 The Registrar must pass the details of the registration on to the Registrant. The UDAI, or instructions on how to obtain a UDAI, must also be sent out to Registrants at this time. The Registrar must provide the UDAI to the Registrant on request.

The dispute resolution service starts with https://dnc.org.nz/tools-and-services/dispute-hub/
