Exactly.
Another one I heard as a good example is baking a loaf of rasin bread.

When you start out with the raisin bread all the raisins are close together.
Then as the bread rises and bakes, the raisins move appart as the dough expands.

So if you think of the raisins as matter (say galaxies) and the dough as space itself, you can sort of imagine how it works.

Space expands (the dough rises and bakes) and it takes the raisins (matter/galaxies) with it.
