You're quite correct - but you do have to tell the fitter that's what you want done.

If he balanced them and there isn't much weight clipped or stuck on it doesn't matter. The dot is there just for balancing purposes. It
makes the heavy or light spot in the tire. Which it is depends on the tire manufacturer.

No red dot is not the heavy point that is a yellow dot and goes by the valve. If you have a red dot as well by it goes by a notch/dimple on the rim
marking the wheel low point.

See "What if both dots are present?" and the para above.
Your fitter might well have put them on correctly - if your lucky
