Pretty much, except instead of going west he canonically went up.

So did Gandalf.

After the end of the Second Age and the Bending of the World, "going West" doesn't mean literally going west, as much as you follow "The Straight Road" sort of upward, over, and into another dimension. At least part of the trip is described as traveling through the air as if on an invisible bridge.

It's why people sailing west from Britain eventually just hit North America and not magical heaven land. To sail West is an entirely different thing.

Or to translate Tolkien's mythos into "real world" speak, the world used to be flat and Heaven used to be a place on Earth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOGEyBeoBGM), but then the men of Atlantis fucked everything up so God turned the world into a globe and hid Heaven in another dimension. So to get to Heaven you basically have to magically sail into outer space.
