They're almost correct. Read this:

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_3.html#SEC40

You need to supply a vendor_tag and release_tag, though they may not 
mean anything in this case.

Note that what I do when I'm unsure of how something in CVS works is I 
create a test repository and do my tests with that repository. Something 
like this:

cvs -d /var/scratch/test_repos init
cvs -d /var/scratch/test_repos import Source vtag rtag

Then you can examine what CVS did and where it put things. When you are 
satisfied with the results, do the same import into your real repository.
