if-else and statement-ending blocks?

S04 says:
>A line ending with a closing brace "}", followed by nothing but whitespace or
>comments, will terminate a statement if an end of statement can occur there.
>That is, these two statements are equivalent:

>    my $x = sub { 3 }
>    my $x = sub { 3 };

Does this mean that
  if $foo == 123 {
     ...
  }
  else {
    ...
  }
is same as
  if $foo == 123 {
     ...
  };  # <-- notice the semicolon here
  else {
    ...
  }
because if-statement could end there.
