Correct me if this assumption is wrong BTW but reading up on it now, seems to be the case.

You are correct.
All design agreements should explicitly state who owns the copyrights.
Freelance designers will often charge more for granting copyrights to a client because it entitles the client purchasing the art to re-purpose the design without paying the designer additional $$$ or royalties.
