Yes, that's exactly it though I'd think you'd want 110 IN / 110 EX timing. All you need do, in essence, is flip over the exhaust cam gear so the other side is facing forward. For very small timing changes this can usually be done safely with the engine at TDC. When starting from scratch you want the pistons well away from the valves, so you set the crank 90^ BTDC and offset each cam gear by 45^ (5 teeth) COUNTER-clockwise. When you reinstall the belt and move the crank clockwise to TDC, the cam gear indexes should line up; if not, move back to 90^ BTDC and move the gear or gears as necessary.

Yes, normally the two gears are identical. In Ken's case his exhaust cam gear just has the wrong side forward, the intake side is OK. That linked discussion on cam timing is the clearest explanation I've come across to date.
