Yes, I think that's exactly right. "Compatible with both Mono and Stereo playback (you don't need to change your cartridge)". Gravure here would mean "pressing" the sense is of having engraved the record so we are more likely to use the verb "to press" the record in this case than "cut" although either are fine until we use the noun from these two verbs. A pressing is much preferable to "a cutting". Many 1960s and 1970s French records had GU shown prominently on the label to demonstrate this. Some wizards at Discogs have even integrated the GU into the catalogue number of French pressed records. My opinion is that GU is never part of a catalogue number.
