Yep....wrong.
The truss rod sets the relief of the neck...how much bow it has.
Different people like various amounts of relieve in their guitar necks...some more, some less. Some flat.
The neck won't "slowly go back" to where it was. The rod basically locks it's relief in place.
Head over to that link I gave above for the Frets.com discussion on truss rods...what they do...how they do it.
