I think that is a generally held view. I know a number of libraries who
not only tend to use one basket per basket group but also one order per
basket. When people move to electronic ordering that seems to be the
norm.
Certainly in the English speaking world librarians find the terminology
a bit odd initially. I dont think many use the term basket until they
encounter Koha. The koha basket corresponds to what they tend to think
of as an order. and the koha order corrsponds to the orderline.
