Yes that's right. If the back-end received a request that didn't contain X-Forwarded-SSL or suchlike, and had a host-header that ended in .netflix.com, it would redirect you to the host-header.

I wouldn't exactly class this as a vulnerability - more of a useful gadget. The front-end would refuse to forward such a request so it's impossible to hit this code path without request smuggling. Even if you could hit it without request smuggling it would still be useless.
