Pretty much.

As long as you remember that Allies aren't always around, and might call on the hero for aid (instead of the other way around), etc. *If* played that way, then they are supposedly Narrator Characters and the player wouldn't be spending HP on them (Theoretically they'd have their own HP pool to use to increase their abilities, whether they were NPCs or are part of a player's "Stable" of heroes).
