That's basically how it works. Although as you learn more about AJAX, you'll find that there are a bunch of different ways to do this, including more 2-way types of communication, where you would do something with the data returned from the controller before or after displaying it on the page. Once you start to open your mind a bit and get the hang of how it all works, you'll start to figure out some really cool ways to tackle problems.
