Default Quick question about adjusting the alignment on Accords

So I took my 06 Accord in for an alignment the other day after hitting a pretty big pot hole. They printed me off a sheet of the before and after saying the toe was pretty far out, and they adjust it in.

Well, I climbed under my car to do an oil change and noticed it looks like the tie rods have been untouched. It's obvious the lock nuts on them have never been loosened. Is this how you adjust the toe on these Accords? I thought it was. So now I'm wondering if they actually did anything, or just gave me a random sheet.

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. Is this where you adjust the toe?

yes, that is the tie rod... i doubt you would be able to tell if they touched it unless they used some penetrating oil.. with that said, the rod is turned in A LOT..

just an opinion of an Honda Technician
