Correct, the crankshaft has oil passages drilled internally from the main bearing journal to the connecting rod journal that supply the oil from the main bearings over to the rod bearings!
Most main bearings have a groove in them to help facilitate the oil supply to the rod bearings.
Rods are the LAST thing in the lube chain to get oil pressure, and the first to spin or wipe a bearing when oil pressure gets to low in an engine for any reason...
That is why the diagram does not show oil passages to the connecting rods!!!!!
