Your comment is basically correct, let me add a little correction:
You're talking about "Sicherungsverwahrung", which has indeed that effect, but a regular life sentence without Sicherungsverwahrung can also be indefinitely long, until the person dies.
There are also perodical checks whether the prisoner is still a danger to society or whether he can be released, but it is possible to stay in regular prison without Sicherungsverwahrung forever.
