No that is not correct.
A base calibrating on itself takes 30 seconds: every time you move a base the default calibration on itself needs to be re-done again and you see a timer counting.
If you have two bases calibrated on each other, and one base gets attacked by forgotten, only the pre-calibration from the other base will work on the first attack. The calibration on itself will kick in 30 seconds later, that is starting from the second attack, in case you are in 2 waves or more. So I would think for forgotten attacks in 1 wave pre-calibration won't give you much benefit. But it would help a lot if everybody calibrates on 2+-wave bases manually.
On the other hand, think of pvp. It takes around 3 attacks worth of time for most support weapons in range to get calibrated. That means if you were to just leave by default each base calibrated on itself, then you get 1 support weapon for the first 2-3 attacks, and then on the 4th wave of attacks all the others start kicking in. However, if you calibrate every base to some other base, then still on the 1st attack every base has only one support weapon at work, but on the 2nd and 3rd attacks calibration on itself will already work, so you get an extra support weapon working on those attacks. That is why it is always slightly better to pre-calibrate each support weapon manually on the the furthest/weakest base in range. So I suggest to just make it a good habit to always calibrate manually from each base.
