Unfortunately it is wrong, at least my Dwarf3-draft7-011029.pdf
says:

7.  return_address_register

   An unsigned LEB128 constant that indicates which column in the rule table represents the
   return address of the function. Note that this column might not correspond to an actual
   machine register.

   In DWARF V2, this field is a ubyte.
