Yes, that's correct.

Some more information: just like with php, you don't need to use a 
bloated "framework" to use ruby on "the server side"(=for web pages). 
Ruby can use the "cgi gateway" that your server probably provides.  In 
fact, it is probably a good excercise to write at least one ruby cgi 
program just to see how it works.  Here is a tutorial:
