That's what it looks like to me, too. I don't find anything in Errata or Sage Advice Compendium that states otherwise.

Damage to a creature on any spot where a fissure opens who fails the Dexterity check would simply take the falling damage for the 10-foot drop, but it doesn't look like the creature would have to worry about any additional damage/restraint, etc., coming from the fissure itself.

The greater potential damage would come from close proximity to a collapsing structure. As a DM, I would rule that a creature inside a fissure would have disadvantage on the Dexterity saving throw to avoid the falling rubble.
 

Thats the way we played it, but the DM rolled a 10 on how deep it was, so it was 100 Feet deep. :) Of course both fighters fell in....
