Yes this is how world cups are played. They don't want to have multiple games at the same time in order to maximize the tv audience for each game. The only exception is the last game of group stages as those have to be played simultaneously to make it fair for all teams in the group (If you want to know how this rule came to be, look into the Algeria debacle o 1982).
