Correct. Dalvik VM has its own bytecode format. One reason is because it 
is register-based (rather than stack-based).

To be precise, the so called Dexer does this - it transforms standard 
Java bytecode into dalvik bytecode. When working with Eclipse, it is 
done by a builder that runs in the background before deploying 
application packages (apk) to the device. It is also available as a 
stand-alone tool.
