Not really like that. Don't forget there are hosts out there which have only one ip-address, so they must use name-based virtual hosting. For this they must configure their only ip-address as NameVirtualHost. After this the documentroot in srm.conf is ignored. All ip-names which the server have, should appear in a VirtualHost section in a ServerName or ServerAlias directive. If it does not, then the default virtualhost is served for it, which is the first VirtualHost section parsed.
Of course if you use mass virtual hosting (vhost module), then the operation is as it is described in its documentation.
