Yeah, this is correct. ASDF and Quicklisp are essentially pervasive in the Common Lisp community now.
If you see a library you want to use, like the HTTP client drakma, then you just start your Lisp and write
(ql:quickload "drakma")
and it will download it (if needed), install it (if needed), compile it (if needed), and load it. It's really easy, and completely changed the game for Lisp about 15 years ago.
