That's correct. SC 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) does not require the link text itself to determine its purpose. The AAA violation, SC 2.49 Link Purpose (Link Only), is what requires the link text by itself provide the context.

I would consider it to be a Best Practice, however, to provide additional information, but it is not something I would penalize someone for.
