Can't say if it's correct or not, but I don't actually change themes
nor disable mods when I do a 'minor' update of core Drupal. It may be
risky, but I have never had a problem. But yes, disabling some modules
will IIRC remove tables and therefore data.
Either way, always do the whole process on a spare site, or at the
very least, backup your files and DB first. :)
Good luck
