Yes, but Harry's Cloak wasn't anywhere near there, so...
Fully two dozen different Charms must have been spoken, then, but no more invisible people showed up. One of them in particular made Hermione's heart sink; she recognized it as the Charm which had been listed alongside the description of the True Cloak of Invisibility, which would not reveal the Cloak, but would tell you whether it or certain other artifacts were nearby.
To clarify when I said 'actually . . . .' i meant to disprove that assertion not support it.
Edit in response to your edit: You lost me.
The example you gave was not an instance of Harry's Cloak being detected or not-detected, so it doesn't prove anything one way or another.
