That is correct, it mechanically removes particles because they stick to the clay even better than paint. Kinda same concept as cleaning glue residue with duct tape.
However, if I plan on waxing and paint does not feel smooth after normal wash I use first a solvent product designed to remove stuff like tar and such, then if paint is still not smooth then I use clay.
