Correct. Unless you know the person and/or have agreed to share with a stranger, most people remain in the lanes by themselves. I have agreed to share when it is really busy but I much prefer to have a swim lane to myself. I like to alternate swimming freestyle and backstroke. My backstroke is all over the lane as I swim from one side to the other so I cannot share a lane and swim backstroke.
