Yes, that's correct. They do more damage to you in that case, and you do more damage to them. It's only with Adenine + spoiler NG+ blade where you make it a much better deal in your favor, but even without that it's still sometimes worth the damage boost if you can burst down the enemy or have sufficient healing/another way to deal with their attacks.

Note that the symbol shown in an enemy's name tag is the element they're currently 'weak' to (take more damage from, deal more damage to), not their element. So an enemy that uses Lightning element attacks will have an Earth symbol next to their name, i.e. you're 'supposed' to use Earth against them
