Yes an INSERT is a new value only there is no old row(value) available.
In the doc link I posted:
"
TG_OP
Data type text; a string of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or TRUNCATE
telling for which operation the trigger was fired.
"
Use this to modify what value(NEW/OLD) you are working with. Call
trigger with UPDATE and INSERT.
