Yes, I agree with this, and I think this is a good way to sum up what a twist is for me - it's a reveal of information that recontextualizes some aspect of what came before.

Framing it that way also helps me understand why "shock twists" that are sprung on the audience out of nowhere are so annoying and narratively unsatisfying. A good twist makes *more* sense after the reveal, not less.
