For the first two phases, yes. Then it was expanded to transport the oil to the Gulf of Mexico.
I looked it up in Wikipedia which pointed me to this article which includes:
The KXL Pipeline would have carried Canadian tar sands oil through Montana, nine South Dakota counties, and Nebraska before connecting to the existing Keystone Pipeline, which ends at the Gulf of Mexico. and
Energy experts say most of the crude would have been processed at American refineries along the Gulf Coast. But there’s debate over whether most of the final product would have been sold in the U.S. or to overseas markets. So it looks like the Canadian oil would have gone to refineries in the Gulf and likely would have been exported.
