Almost. "All rights" means "all rights that can be transferred under
applicable legislation".
In many legislations, some rights are inalienable. E.g. the right to
prevent misrepresentation of the original work - in other words, you can
buy the film rights, but if the author doesn't like what you do with the
story, he can veto the film anyway.
