Yup, but then we also don't have an election either way because the confidence motion was passed.
There is this massive loophole in the whole process where the election has been avoided, FTPA has done it's job, but the incumbent doesn't resign.
EDIT; Actually reading the flowchart there suggests the 14-day timer continues while they await the confidence motion. So yeah Boris can wait it out and refuse to resign.
