Yes, that's pretty much it. Sparse linear classifiers aren't as simplistic as your googling led you to believe; look at figure 4, where they carved out pixels of the image that led to the three classifications they got for it. Their algorithm could also use some other easily comprehensible model than sparse linear classifiers, just like all learning algorithms you have to decide in advance the sort of model you're going to learn.
