That is correct. -18 LUFS is the ReplayGain reference loudness.

We have added the dB value witch is basically an additional gain to the normalized -18 LUFS track.

In the 1.11 version, we had only the dB value. And it helps to compare the LUFS slider with the Initial Boost slider below and the
Replay Gain value in the library column.

A dB scale is the most common scale for gain and volume slider, and it should catch the user who are not familiar with LUFS. It has nothing to do with dBFS, which is a unit for peak sample measurement.
