Correct. To add more- USB is a master-slave protocol. With 2 PCs, both would think they were the master. You'd need an adaptor with special drivers/firmware at the very least.
Other than that, if you did go ahead and do it- the USB protocol expects device ids and stuff like that. You could hack and do things like NFS or terminals with a bit of work- its all just data. But it would be voodoo to set up, it isn't natively supported.
