That is correct

You opt in to those tools by specifying them in your `backend packages` config e g <https github com pantsbuild pants blob main pants toml L6> and Pants will install them in effectively a hidden virtualenv configure them applying your custom config for each tool if you have any and run them as needed

Pants has config options for each tool e g <https www pantsbuild org docs reference black> that include the ability to run a different version of the tool than the default
