Yes, that would appear to be case, i.e, Va Code Sec. 12.2-270 C.1 specifies

that three convictions for DUI in the Commonwealth within a 10 year period

make the third such conviction a Class 6 felony. (You may need to petition

the court for a hearing on this matter to have the record of your recent DUI

conviction corrected to reflect that this third conviction was NOT your third one

within a ten year period that would make it a Class 6 felony.)
