Default progressive + verbs of position

Dear teachers,

It is true that when we use a verb of position such as "stay / remain" with the present progressive it does not expresses a definite arrangement but rather an intention / plan WITHOUT a definite arrangement ? Example:

He is staying in London for a couple of days = He is going to stay in London...
i.e. he plans to do so but has not arranged it yet?

Thanks for the help,
Hela
