Correct.  svnsync is a one-way mirroring tool.  For example, you could
use it to set up a single-write-master repository, and then a bunch of
read-only mirrors.

It's different than svk, which is a true 'decentralized' version
control system.  In those sorts of systems, N repositories can be
connected in a random graph, and can safely push/pull changesets with
each other and keep track of the mess.  :-)
