Exactly! You use service of the type LoadBalancer to expose something to the public Internet. You need something that will respond to your LoadBalancer request.
While Metallb is a nice tool for small clusters. Netris offers a way of leveraging open source ecosystem but provide a production grade cloud-like LoadBalancer service together with bunch of other essential things you will need when you are building a private cloud.
