Yep, I've always read it that way. Moench's series had as its initial premise that the Spectre had been radically depowered as punishment for his failures in Crisis #10 and Swamp Thing # 50. Switching their positions and letting the Stranger boss around Spectre's comings and goings in the afterlife seemed to drive home the "how the mighty have fallen" message.
