That is how it works. I remember doing some computer work for a
company that developed aircraft electronics. In the back room with
the ups and such were a couple of motor-generators that produced 400hz
power, which is used in large jets. This was routed to the test
benches and such.

They have been used as online ups for a long time, usually with a
flywheel to store the energy. Very low maintenance devices, that have
been around for ages.
