That's my understanding too, yeah.

No space _characters_ between them, correct -- (C) would render just like
  <div>some</div><b></b><div>text</div>

There might be some packing space between them, of course, depending on
the value of "justify-content" (formerly known as "flex-pack") on the flex
container.
