That is correct as long as that direct allocation came from ARIN.  A really large chunk of address space was allocated 
(especially to the government entities) way before ARIN was controlling the space.  I think the large percentage of 
space held by non-ARIN members come from those really large allocations going back to ARPANET and DDN days.

AFAIK A lot of those entities are not necessarily members although they could be if they want to be.
