This is essentially right, but, IMHO a lil' more elaborate description is such, The High Voltage stress is translated across the voltage gap and across the water molecule...this molecular stress orients the water molecules in a bipolar manner. Now at this point we have a "Water capacitor, with the water as PART of the dielectric.
We now re-route the charge, carrying orbital electrons away. Now without the extra orbital mass to create an interlocking orbit, the molecule separates to the appropriate atoms. We now have ionized atomic gasses, we can do this in many stages, or one high powered, high surface area (vaporized water) stage.
This causes the equilibrium of the water to be unbalanced and the water corrects this unbalance by releasing hho. Then on the next pulse it does this all over again. If you don't have the electron extraction circuit hooked up the water molecule will relax back to the state it started off in before the pulse train hit it.
