That is accurate for its power rating however that doesn't tell one how much power is passing through.  One would have to measure both current and voltage to determine how much power is actually being dissapated.
BTW  The 2 watt rating fpr carbon comp pots goes back to before WWII and became a defacto standard. It wasn't until the SS era that smaller wattage pots were introduced.
