Capacitor Across Power Switch to Control Switch On Noise?

Yes, the load side is correct. However, a cap on the supply side of the switch will not draw much power unless it has a poor dielectric. It will draw current, but as this is in quadrature with the voltage it does not represent net power flow.

Incidentally, the thread was about power-on noise. Caps around the switch reduce power-off noise. They will only affect power-on noise if the switch suffers from bad bouncing.
