So long as the Scrum Master is facilitating and not leading/controlling, that's fine. The last thing I'd want to see is an authoritative Scrum Master when it comes to most agile ceremonies.

What you stated and more than that could be found in lot of sites and literature. But it does not matter (or are not determinant) when you put it on the field. Here is where things like @Kiron stated above becomes a critical success factor. Scrum Master is a coach like sports teams coaches. And while the word "coach" becomes a new buzzwords today when you understand the real meaning and you experienced it (for example into sports) you really understand who to be things like Scrum Master.

To follow up on Kiron and Sergio's comments, the Scrum master is there to guide and serve the team. The Scrum master's priority should always be on the team activities during the sprint. Anything else is above and beyond. Saving Changes...
