8.5b -- setOrigin: is never called?

[bpcookson]

On page 172 near the bottom it reads:

"When the setOrigin: method is invoked with the expression
myRect.origin = myPoint;
..."

Is that to say that the dot operator will specifically act on a method for variable "xxx" called setXxx:? 
As in:
example.xxx = yyy  ==  [example setXxx: yyy]

In other words, could I (if I wanted to) write my own complex setter and getter methods and access those specific methods via the dot operator?

I hope that made sense.  I'll be experimenting to figure this out in the mean time.  Thanks for any help folks.

Yes you can.
