Yes, but in this case point is not "within this many lines of the top or
bottom of the window" anymore technically.
Or maybe it is, if you interpret "top" and "bottom" as just buffer lines
and "gets within" as "within absolute distance". In this case we can
additionally qualify the conditions:
"whenever point gets within this many lines of the top or bottom of the
window without going off screen."
Either way, this description is more accurate than what we have currently.
Alternatively, we can mention the "off screen" situation in the second
paragraph, where the values of `scroll-conservatively' are considered.
