That's correct, according to DSM classifications. A psychotic episode during mania is enough to get someone a BP1 diagnosis.
However, not everyone who experiences psychosis has BP1 or some form of BP. I have BP2, and I had a psychotic break once (during a severe illness that required hospitalization; not related to BP however).
