Yes, that seems to be the meaning. Or you might say 'that which' rather than 'what'.

Thanks, Yankee.

I think the sentence is difficult to follow, so I'd probably either do a major rewording of it or add 'that which'.
(The original sentence would probably not be difficult to follow when spoken, however.)
