That's been my interpretation as well. Love me some cocky gay hotshot pilot. And it almost seems to be the direction the next one is taking, with Rey off training with Luke and unavailable for romance. Wouldn't be too much of a stretch for Poe to help nurse Finn back to health, then take him on a secret Resistance mission as a copilot/gunner, where sparks fly. I know I've said that already, but heck, repeating it can't hurt.
Of course, the Brand!New!Gay!Character will actually be someone who gets a minute or two of screentime and barely a hint at their sexuality, and the folks at Disney will still manage to pat themselves on the back for being bold and inclusive. Sigh.
