Exactly. Towbar assemblies form a complete triangle in order to provide pulling, stopping, and turning forces. The leg of the triangle across from the hitch (closes to toad) is there in one way or another. Yours sounds like a nice clean-looking system, and at other extreme I've seen a few towbars attached semi-permanently to bumpers of Jeeps and other vehicles. Regardless of how it's done, you're correct that the "equivalent" of the crossbar is there.
