No, it works like this (changed to zero based sectors for consistency with
other references):

ADFS-L sector addresses:

LBA 00 - t00h0s0
LBA 01 - t00h0s1
LBA 02 - t00h0s2
LBA 03 - t00h0s3
LBA 04 - t00h0s4
LBA 05 - t00h0s5
LBA 06 - t00h0s6
LBA 07 - t00h0s7
LBA 08 - t00h0s8
LBA 09 - t00h0s9
LBA 0A - t00h0sA
LBA 0B - t00h0sB
LBA 0C - t00h0sC
LBA 0D - t00h0sD
LBA 0E - t00h0sE
LBA 0F - t00h0sF
LBA 10 - t01h0s0
LBA 11 - t01h0s1
LBA 12 - t01h0s2

Other sector addresses:

LBA 00 - t00h0s0
LBA 01 - t00h0s1
LBA 02 - t00h0s2
LBA 03 - t00h0s3
LBA 04 - t00h0s4
LBA 05 - t00h0s5
LBA 06 - t00h0s6
LBA 07 - t00h0s7
LBA 08 - t00h0s8
LBA 09 - t00h0s9
LBA 0A - t00h0sA
LBA 0B - t00h0sB
LBA 0C - t00h0sC
LBA 0D - t00h0sD
LBA 0E - t00h0sE
LBA 0F - t00h0sF
LBA 10 - t00h1s0
LBA 11 - t00h1s1
LBA 12 - t00h1s2

i.e. the sectors within a track are always all read together, the difference
is whether the addressing is CHS (cylinder then head then sector) or HCS
(head then cylinder then sector)
