Yes, that's the way it should work.
I forgot to mention one other thing which may help.
The remote's input button cycles through inputs in a set order. It only cycles through inputs that you have activated in your config file if you only have 2 inputs active, your Line input and your Wifi input, a single press of the input button on the remote will always take you to whichever input you're not using.
Let's say instead that you have 3 inputs active in your configuration, let's call them A, B, and C. The Devialet will always cycle through them in that order going A,B, C, A, B, C, A and so on as you press the Input button on the remote. If you're using input B and want to get to C, a single press of the Input button will always do it and if you're using Input A and want to get to C or Input B and want to get to A, or input C and want to get to B, then 2 presses of the Input button will always do it.
Make sure you only have the inputs you actually are using active in your configuration and learn the order that the amp cycles through them in. Then you will know how many presses of the input button you need to make. You do have to worry about the "streaming inputs" shown on the display such as Roon Ready/AIR?UPNP etc. They're tied to the physical input, either ethernet or wifi and you will have to cycle through them if they're along the input cycle sequence between the input you're using and the input you want to get to but you can factor them into your button press count once you learn the sequence and it's easy to learn the sequence. Just stand where you can see the display, start pressing the input button, and write down the name of the inputs in the order in which you cycle through them. The amp always follows the same order. If you know what input you're currently using you can tell how many button presses you need to get to it.
The other lazy way requires that something be playing on the source device attached to the input you want to select. Just keep pressing the input button until you hear what you want to hear because the input you want will then be active. If you're swapping from Roon to your phono input, for example, start an LP playing on your turntable and then start pressing the input button until you hear the LP. The problem with this approach is that you'll miss the start of the record because the record needs to be playing so that you know when you've got to the right input but you can do this if you want the line input for your TV. Turn the TV on and it will start sending it's audio signal to the amp, then start pressing the input button on the amp remote and stop when you hear the sound from the TV. If you don't stop then you're going to have to keep pressing the input button until you come around to the line input once again so wait a second or two between button presses so you have a chance to listen for the audio from each input as you cycle through the inputs.
Yes, it's kind of klutzy learning how many button presses you need or just pressing the input button repeatedly until you hear the audio you want but it does work.
