Exactly!

In Israel i've also seen non-final /k/ at the end, used to represent
[k] where Hebrew can only have [x].

My favorite phrase with word-final non-final-form |p|:
for those it works for:
קרפ צרפתי
for comparison, with final-form |p|:
*קרף
for those it doesn't, just remember both Ps are non-final-form:
QRP TzRPTY
/krep ts)orfati/ = "French Crèpe"
Although i usually pronounce it:
[kr\&p [ts)orfati] ;-)
