That's correct. Watson only learns from correct answers after a question has been completed. This is mentioned specifically int he Nova documentary.

Looks like this isn't too clear. An IBM spokesperson said he can't hear what other players are saying at all and only takes input from the question board. (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/02/ibms-wats...)

Regardless, Watson only selectively takes input, if it does at all.
