Yes, when shoving bike back & forth, you're moving output-shaft gears relative to input-shaft gears and at some point they are in sync and shift-dogs are reset and centred. Then you can squeeze clutch and downshift further.

When slowing down, it's best to release clutch with each downshift so gears are engaged. Then at some point, you'll be down in 1st gear and try to downshift more and it won't change. Now you're in 1st for sure. As you're coming to complete stop in 1st-gear, squeeze in clutch at very end. Then you know for sure you're in 1st and neutral is only 1/2-click up.
