Weather file altitude VS building altitude (EnergyPlus)

If the weather file altitude and the building altitude (Site:Location -> Elevation) differs, does E+ automatically apply a correction?

In my case, the objects Site:WeatherStation and Site:HeightVariation are blank.

From what I can read in the documentation, the correction (if set) is applied to altitude variations within the model, for example between ground floor and the attic of a high building. Is it correct?
