No, this is not correct.
You can't just export data from an early release of EBS and import it to 12.2.5. ( you can't just exp-imp standard data from earlier release to new release)

If you want to export - import EBS database, then your source and target EBS instance should be in  the same level (for ex: 12.2 to 12.2 ) -- I m not talking about the db version here.

Now.. I need to understand your need.
There are 3 methods for using EBS 12.2.5.
 
1) Fresh EBS 12.2.5 installation (new install, empty in terms of data)
2) Fresh EBS 12.2.5 installation + load data from your early EBS to this new EBS suite. (this is called migration as well)
3)Upgrade your early relase EBS suite to EBS 12.2.5 (this is called upgrade, and it is done using EBS upgrade methodology)  

Which one you need?
