Seems that way to me too.

A table that has columns with potentially large entries will have an
associated <firstterm>TOAST</firstterm> table, which is used for
out-of-line storage of
-field values that are too large to keep in the table rows proper.
+field values that are too large to keep in the table rows properly.

I think "in the table rows proper" means something like "in the table rows
themselves", although a native speaker can clarify it better. A bit of
Internet searching tells that "proper" used like this is a "post-positive
adjective"
