If it's a 1:1 lock, as the Moon is with the Earth, the same side will always have perpetual day and perpetual night. And by "side" I mean the solar pole, since oblate spheroids don't really have "sides."

Of course, the terminator zone will swap position during the orbit and rotation... that's what it appears you are saying.
