That is correct

I found it out when doing lightbulb overhaul, confirmed in manual.

Since 1 April 1980 cars have to have ONE rear fog lamp, fitted on the offside.
I think the reason for one is to avoid confusion with brake lights.

They have to have a MINIMUM of one fitted on the offside. My 2000 Volvo had two fitted as many cars have.
There is a minimum distance (100 mm) that fog lights need to be positioned from rear/brake lights to avoid confusion.

From Road vehicle lighting regs.
