That is correct

This one has come up quite a bit, so we put it in the FAQ a few years back. It's actually mentioned twice, in Important Clarification #3, and with this question:

A. You may have automatically defeated the monster in question, but your fellow munchkins still have a reasonable time to respond. They probably cannot do anything to help the now-defeated monster, but they can still wander in a new one for you to fight. (But if the monster had special "bring in a friend" rules, such as Undead and Bats, you cannot use those rules, because the original monster is no longer there.)

Thank you Erik, although I've read the FAQ last week this rule had slipped my mind. Much appreciated!
