Correct. Even assuming good GPS reception, you'd still have an accuracy of several meters, so you could be in the entirely wrong room. Given that the iPhone was inside a house, there probably was poor (if any) reception, and it used cell tower trilateration instead; this puts typical accuracy in the ballpark of dozens of meters.
(This applies to anything location-based on iOS — and, generally, smartphones/other mobile devices at large — , not just to Find My iPhone.)
