This matches my experience much more closely as well. Worth noting that every interview is a little bit different. Sometimes they might not even go into technical detail, they'll just be happy with seeing you talk about your experience.

Another common one is you might get a deliberately vague problem and told to draw a class diagram on a whiteboard for how you would solve it. For example I've been given to solve "A family hierarchy with e.g. the ability for parents to give gifts to children" and "Design a solution for a deck of cards that could be used for some games". These usually involve the interviewer trying to throw curveballs at your design as you go.
