Yes, that's correct. And both 919 and TS050 has already developed similar Jet Ignition system for WEC. However, they work in the same principle but designed to last for endurance rather than short sprint(F1)
The main difference between WEC system and F1 is that, In F1 you can overhaul the Engine after the race (clean the sub-chamber) VS WEC everything needs to last >24hr thus you can not clean the sub-camber.

There are more to it but that's the idea
