That’s correct - however, 150 points is a ridiculously high number that’s almost impossible to overcome. Every time the snitch was caught, that team won the game.
You’re definitely right about it being a poorly-contrived scoring system, but there are a few games in the books where the team lost the game but grabbed the snitch. It’s always described as a “stem the bleeding” type decision
Edit: sorry, now seeing the replies to your other comments saying this, I guess you know by now 😅
This was a thing in the third book where Harry had to make sure they’re a certain number of points ahead before catching the snitch so that they’d not just win the match but also their school league.

They won the game, but they may have lost the league if winning comes down to point differences.
