Default Coil pack question

On the weekend I dropped a cylinder (#4) in my AU Ghia 2001 and and the RACV guy told me that in the AU VCT I6 each coil pack runs two cylinders so that if it was the coil pack then I would have dropped 2 cylinders, is this correct? I am putting in a new sparkplug tonight in the hope that that is the problem.
