Not quite, the charge will stop when the charge current in CV mode drops below a preset limit. not sure what this limit is though. when the battery first hits 4.2V per cell (8.4V for a 2 cell battery) it is only about 60 - 80% charged. the remainder of the charge is done in CV mode when the current is dropping. so when the charger sits at 8.4V its doing the last 30% ish of the charge and this is when most of the balancing is done.
