I believe that's correct, Sharon. This is a helpful resource (as Kynn
always is):

http://access.idyllmtn.com/tables/

In that, he does recommend a table summary of something like "Page
layout" and I have used such in the past myself. However, a recent
thread on the WAI-IG list seemed to suggest leaving the table summary
attribute null, i.e.:

<table summary="" etc.>

Hope that helps.
