[OM] OM-4 metering with TTL flash

Using an OM-4, I'm wondering if all the metering functions ( spot, highlight, 
shadow ) work with TTL flash just as they do with ambient exposures.

In reading through my OM-4 manuals it appears I should be able to do the 
following when shooting with TTL flash -

Spot ( or multi spot, or highlight, or shadow ) meter on my subject.
Apply appropriate compensation via the compensation dial.
Shoot.

As if by magic, :-) I should have correct exposures.

Is this correct, IOW is it that easy?

I've done TTL flash with my OM-2N and it works fine. Without spot metering 
though, you have to pay a lot of attention to your background if it's much 
different than your subject, or if your subject is small...
