That seems to be the case.
Minimal details on my end below.

PATH=D:\Program_Portable\Processing-4.4.4\runtime\bin;E:\android\sdk\platform-tools;E:\android\sdk\cmdline-tools\latest;null

The rest removed...
“Bare bones” batch file to launch Processing (4.4.4) to use with Android Mode (4.6.1):
KISS Android Mode launch 1 0 2.bat
REM Either of these JAVA_HOME paths work on my system:
set "JAVA_HOME=D:\Program_Portable\Processing-4.4.4\app\resources\jdk"
REM Alternatively, you can use this if it is available:
REM set "JAVA_HOME=C:\Users\GLV\AppData\Local\Programs\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.15.6-hotspot"
set "PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%"
REM If Processing is not in your system PATH, modify the line below with the correct location.
REM This is where my processing.exe is located:
REM start D:\Program_Portable\Processing-4.4.4\processing.exe
REM If Processing is in your system PATH, you can simply run it with:
start processing.exe
pause
