Am I right boys?

Yes thats right. When a user types in a web address, that address needs to point somewhere. By typing in a nameserver, you are 'telling' the DNS that your domain has to point to a specific server or hosting company. The hosting company then decides to deal with the request and route it to the account that they have under that domain name. So, for instance, this allows multiple accounts on a single, shared-hosting server.

NS1, NS2...NS* are just back ups or otherwise load balancers, as far as I am aware.
