 Yes, mostly, you can also use 'help' to ask such questions:

    The operators ‘<-’ and ‘=’ assign into the environment in which
     they are evaluated.  The operator ‘<-’ can be used anywhere,
     whereas the operator ‘=’ is only allowed at the top level (e.g.,
     in the complete expression typed at the command prompt) or as one
     of the subexpressions in a braced list of expressions.

and so on...
