That is correct.

It is similarly correct that nginx is not able to know where your uwsgi
server is listening.

The administrator should know what variable values the uwsgi server will
make use of, and where the uwsgi server is listening.

The administrator can configure nginx to match whatever those
site-specific requirements are.

(And one possible way to do that, is for nginx to always set PATH_INFO
= the original request, and let the uwsgi server use that in any way
it likes.)
