Yep, controlled landing with propulsion.
I thought the plan was just to belly flop the starship but controlled propulsion "landing" of the booster in the gulf

yeah Starship will belly flop into the ocean at terminal velocity
booster will fire its engines to test its hover sequence like the chopsticks will grab it when SpaceX eventually decides to go for the catch back at the launch site
of course they aren't doing an actual catch right now b/c it's still unproven and they want to avoid possibly destroying the launch tower/stage 0 if at all possible
