Right, as long as you either exported your Bitcoin to your own wallet or your Bitcoin was deposited in an exchange that assured its customers that they would not claim the BCC themselves but hold it for users, then you are fine. If, OTOH, your Bitcoin was deposited in an exchange that alerted its users to withdraw their Bitcoin to their own wallets of they wanted it, and you did not withdraw in before the fork then you are probably SoL.
