I'd like to expand on this, hopefully to add clarity. The above is
absolutely correct, for an interactive foreground shell session.
Another way to say it is that the "current directory" is what you would
get if you were to open the file named "." (dot, period...) in an
application (which includes the shells).
Additionally, since any particular application may be run in the
background, and may also change directory, it is possible to have
several "current directories", depending on which of the running
applications you are referring to.
