Very good, that is correct. 
Lexical ambiguity means that the ambiguity arises on the level of the lexeme (word).
e.g. "I was right next to the bank when I fainted, otherwise I might not have survived."
- The speaker might have fainted on the water next to the bank of a river, so he did not drown.
 - The speaker fainted next to a financial institute, so enough people were there who could help him.
 
See the Glossary entry on Lexical Ambiguity for more information.
