Yes, that is precisely correct. This is one anisotropy that you expect to see in any model, because it's a fact about us, not about the universe.
The higher modes, however, suggest that the Big Bang wasn't homogeneous and isotropic. That doesn't make it not a BIG BANG in a general sense, nor not the Big Bang in the technical sense. It just means that there was more going on than we knew about. We already knew that.
