Yes.

Again, if I'm understanding, it's a bit like when you have an
additional root in a normal git repository, for example:

 * -- * -- * -- * (project1)
       \
        * -- * -- * (project1/stable)

   * -- * -- * -- * (project2)

Then to make project2 a submodule of project1, one of the project1
trees simply refers to a commit in project2.

Exactly.
