Correct. Once these metal wear rates level off, that means your engine is fully 100% finished the break in process and this is ideally when you want to do your first oil change to get the metal shavings out of your oil filter.
That may not be true in all circumstances.
Over on the VW TDI community, it is known that it can take the TDI engine 10's of thousands of miles to fully break in. I would say 95% of the engine is broken in by your first scheduled oil change.
