That's part of it, but it's not a complete solution.

That particular attack vector is called CSRF, cross-site request
forgeries. RSnake's XSS cheatsheet demonstrates using XSS on your own
site to launch the attack, but it can also be launched from any other
web site where your users visit.

Something I think RSnake fails to mention is that CSRF safeguards fail
when a XSS vulnerability exists, so it's important to protect against both.

Hope that helps.
