Yes, the containing block refers to the current element.
Let's put aside the percentage for a while and see this with a fixed value of px.
If you scroll down to the example part in the link that you provide, in the "Using Fixed Value", it is explained that
[...] the width of the div tag can not exceed 200px.
This means that when we have a screen with a width of 640px, the width of the div will not getting bigger than 200px (its maximum value).
The explanation of the percentage example also the same.
[...] the width of the div can not exceed 90%.
From here we can see that max-width relatives to the current element.
Thank you for reading and the feedback, Andrei!
