Correct.  Quoting sftp-server(8):

     -Q protocol_feature
             Queries protocol features supported by sftp-server.  At
present
             the only feature that may be queried is "requests", which
may be
             used to deny or allow specific requests (flags -P and -p
             respectively).

protocol_feature is not intended as a literal, it's a placeholder for
the correct argument same as the other options that take an argument
listed in the usage.
