Correct. Coax is nice and quiet in both directions. In home power wiring is basically a giant, poorly tuned antenna.
I can tell you MOCA 1.0 can be made to work over powerline (at reduced bandwidth, if you rip out the RF frontend and run at baseband), and it can pass emissions, but it didn't work well enough (by % of households able to achieve >= target data rate) to be worth commercializing.
