The context for this phrase is in a list of kanji spellings (kanji with
hiragana), thus the definitions are not provided.

Breaking the phrase into its components:

`表す` - to reveal, show, display

`通り` - avenue, street, way

Taking the second part (way) in a non-literal sense leads me to conclude the
phrase means roughly,

`the way shown` or more concisely `as shown`

Is my conclusion correct?

Meaning of the phrase 表す通り
Yes 表す通り roughly means "as indicated", but it's not used on its own. It has to
be preceded by some subject. For example:

>   * 彼の外見が表す通り  
>  as his appearance shows / as indicated by his appearance
>   * 名前が表す通り  
>  as the name suggests
