Your understand it correctly. The purpose of the test is to determine how effective is the fire curtain. The fire curtain is mounted in front of a furnace and on the other side a test specimen (paper, wood, plastic etc.) is placed to see how long it can resist the fire on the other side of the curtain, i.e. the specimen is only exposed to high temperature, not to the fire.
