Pretty much.
The feet of the rack actually sit ON the rear bumper.
The other key part is the pair of tie-downs. They are hooked inside the car on the "OH S**T" handles and stretched across to the opposing side and up to the Stoker handles on the tandem. They're red, and visible in the picture if you look closely.
I use old toeclip straps and cross lash them around the frame/rack prongs.
So the Hollywood, 2 tie-downs & 2 toeclip straps and that's it. 5 minutes on or off.
I load it by lifting the rear wheel and setting it on the trunk, next to the rack.
Then I humph the front end up, and push the whole thing so the rear wheel rolls up the back window & onto the roof. With the crossmember of the trike sitting at the bend at the tips of the rack prongs, the rear wheel sits just behind the edge of the sunroof.
Only thing missing are some seat covers. At least the bugs are on the backs of the seats!
