yes. Except that the real time in that display has a resolution of 10 ms 
only.
(Thus the 9.2 ms looked like 0.01 s below, i think.)

But yes, that's the STW time.

One caveat though -- this only lists STW ops attributed to GC.
More generally, you would want to use +PrintSafepointStatistics to
see all STW operations (and details thereof), including of course the
GC ops (which are usually the most common type of STW op, but by
no means the only type).
