Exogenous constructs are indeed the latent, multi-item equivalents of independent variables in traditional multivariate analysis, meaning they influence other variables within the model but are not influenced by variables within the model. This is why they are determined by factors outside of the model and graphically do not have any paths coming into them, as they serve as starting points for causal paths within structural equation models.
