Generally correct, only thing I'd mention is that fund size and geography matter a lot. New York firms pay close to market because of the cost of living. In a tier 2 city, it's less likely you'll see figures that are quite as high. 

I'd leverage recruiters to get the most accurate figures. If you're just trying to get a general sense, the reports will work fine. If you have an offer and want to make sure it's market, ping a recruiter you know and ask them for same level offers in the same tier of city. Best way to get a really accurate representation of what comp is/should be.
