No. Not correct. Not sure on camaros but the 88-92 birds have it mounted to the lower serp bracket bolt on the dr side.

Re: 92 z28 negative battery cable
I can't get a camera down in there to snap a shot...but on the later Camaros with the battery on the passenger side, the negative cable most definitely is attached with a bolt to the front lower corner of the passenger side cylinder head.
I rebuilt my engine over the summer and tagged all the wires so I'd know where everything goes back. So unless somebody moved the cable before I owned the car then it's on the passenger head. Regardless of where it's mounted, as long as it has a good ground to the block you are fine. If the heat from the exhaust manifold is a concern then by all means move it.
