file permissions with Set GID

I have a file. the command chmod 2741 was run against it. Its just a text file, nothing that can do any damage while i'm testing.

the file permissions are now rwxr_S__x

This means that the group inherits the rights of the owner when running this file.

Is that correct?

Actually, just to emphasise, that's the owners group, not the user/owner.
