You got it. Now consider this... If you are not going to include that F# in your chord for any significant reason, do not exert the energy to do a straight finger barre across all the notes. However, this being said, be sure to practice the chords using the full barre right now to develop your strength. You can relax you index finger and only finger the root B note with the index finger. Dampen the high F#, don't let it ring. Strum the root b and the remaining triad, leaving off the high F#. Then, later in the progression, maybe you want that high F# to ring out for a melody note, then barre it.

G major scale:

G - A - B - C - D - E - F#

The Bm is made from the above scale. Starting with the B, skipping note C, including the D, skipping the E, and finally using the F#. So we have made a triad chord (three note chord) using notes from the G major scale and they are:

B - D - F# = Bm chord

What is really cool is that you can now find all the locations on the guitar neck where the above three notes are found and then you can play a Bm chord. Become familiar with the octave patterns, add some octaves and widen out your fingerings. It's fun to do this and I am realizing more and more that memorizing and knowing the notes that make up a chord really is a must.
