Yes that's correct. However, they calculate it by the amount of points you earned.
I believe you used to get 5 points for every dollar raked in tournament entry fees and 3.5 for every dollar raked at cashgames.
The point distribution now changed so that regulars get fewer points per $ paid in rake and fish get more. It's basicly a scam by the skins but their excuse is 'a healthier poker economy'.
So say for example, you're a winning reg and you rake $1000. Before this new system you'd have gotten 3500 points and $300 rakeback. You now get 1750 (pulled this number out of my ass) points and they calculate your rakeback upon that, in this case it'd be half, $150.
There's an ongame topic in the zoo and maybe a topic on this new rakeback system as well. I'd suggest you check it out before putting in huge volume.
