Correct. In theory, there is a law that grants an extension to the statute of limitations in cases where an indictment is filled in time, and subsequently dismissed.
However, it is not clear if that is applicable here because one of the problems here was that prosecutor messed up the grand jury so badly, that there is a reasonable argument that Comey was never actually indighted.
This isn’t likely to come up, because the other result was a ruling that Trump cannot keep on appointing interim US Attorneys, so the prosecutor to bring charges would either need to be Senate approved, or court appointed.
