The picture is correct.
A somewhat "more modern" approach would be the use of IP phones. They connect to a normal (orange in the picture) LAN port or even via WLAN. Either at the switch or directly at the router, that doesn’t matter. Strictly speaking, you can connect them to a port anywhere in the world...
The advantage is greater flexibility. I can move my DECT stations (if I notice there is no reception in the garden anymore, I go closer to it), I can relocate my office to the former children's room, I can make calls via my mobile phone (app), assign multiple numbers from virtual providers to the phones, and possibly save myself the adapter stuff (and the purple part of the picture).
The only challenge can sometimes be obtaining the access data (so-called SIP credentials) from your provider. That can take a while, so you should clarify it in advance.
Ah – and of course it requires IP-capable phones/base stations. The old base stations have to be replaced. The old handsets usually still work (with DECT).
