Not correct.
Luftwaffe fighters started to get coloured I.D. markings (yellow or white) in mid August 1940, commencing with a segment on top of the rudder, and the tips of the main wings. By late August, this had extended to the engine cowling and the entire rudder, mainly in yellow by this period, although the earlier style, including white (the latter mainly JG3) could still be seen as late as early September.

I need to check one of my books when I get home (So I could be wrong.), but I believe the first units to get yellow noses was actually as early as the Battle of Poland. It however, was not widespread until August 1940 as you say.
