Yeah, that's accurate. The shield will FULLY absorb the hit that breaks it, so even a hypothetical 9999 damage shot would make a whopping 0hp dent in your actual health pool (well, the first shot, anyway). And multiple hearts have individual shields, so 2 hearts would handle 2 of those hits. This makes this a really, really good item, even after enemy damage scales far beyond the actual size of the shield (60hp).
