Yes. That's how it works.
Is that how it works for an index as well? I just found out that I have an index that is 35GB, and the table is 85GB. ( I will look into the index, it works fine, but an index that is almost one third of the size of the table, seems a little bit strange. ) So if it works the same way and the index uses a B-tree, I assume it only loads the pages that contains the subpart of the index that are relevant, is this correct?
