Halfway there. Both sides need to be calibrated.
Let's say I finally notice my display doesn't output as much green as it should, and I calibrate the display. The calibration process outputs a display profile, and this display profile boosts the greens to make up for my flawed display. That profile is only relevant to my display, it only describes the variation between my display and some theoretical ideal.
So I recreate the logo in Photoshop, with my new display profile tweaking my flawed display, and the eyedropper now says the numbers are 255 128 128. Perfect.
Until I send that tiff to you. Because unfortunately, although you haven't noticed it, the blue channel in your display has been gradually increasing its midrange output over time. To you the eyedropper reads 255 128 128, but it doesn't look like a salmon at all, more like pink bubblegum.
So you have to calibrate your display too, creating a profile that reduces the midrange reds to make up for the idiosyncracies of your display.
