YEP...check valve is internal of the nipple of hot outlet on tank.
They are a plunger/spring/o-ring design held in via a clip.
You can usually remove clip with needle nose pliers and then just pull the rest of assembly out without having to remove nipple.
Then instead of replacing with another cheapo plastic junk just install a shut-off valve in hot outlet line to close when winterizing WH
