That's not totally true.
Home court is awarded by record.
Boston won the division last year and their first game was on the road.

You're right
The team in each series with the better record has home court advantage. This means that, for example, if the team who receives the six seed has a better record than the team with the three seed (seeded thus by virtue of a divisional championship), the six seed would have home court advantage, even though the other team has a higher seed. Therefore, the team with the best regular season record in the league is guaranteed home court advantage in every series it plays.
