That IS it.  You take the screw out and inject your favorite oil in the
hole.  But you may run into problems.  First you need to disconnect the
lower speedo cable from the angle drive.  Then you rotate the angle drive
until the screw faces up.  But more often than not any angle drive that I
have tried to lube has the housing so stuck that it won't rotate.  Be
careful not to gouge/scrape it beyond recognition with pliers.  It helps
to
protect the speedo cable threads by using a ring from an old speedometer
cable to screw over it.  (Common junk yard item).  Then you have an
expendable surface that you can grab with pliers.  It helps to liberally
pre-soak in your favorite penetrant oil.

And then you might get lucky and the thing just rolls over and says, "oil
me".

My secret for getting oil in the screw hole is a broken off needle used to
put air in footballs/basket balls.  I jab the broken end into a tube of
90W
gear oil and then put the other end in the angle drive.  It helps to spin
the cable going in while you "stuff" it with oil.

I've heard of other methods like injecting with grease, white lithium,
motorcycle chain oil, etc.
