I agree, but with one reservation. The normal term for movies made before the introduction of sound and lip-syncing is 'silent movie'. Perhaps someone using the term 'dialogue-free movie' would be referring to a modern movie that just didn't have dialogue - perhaps a 'short'; or something like Disney's Fantasia, which had sound but not dialogue.
