You're on the right track. Still to come are note durations (whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, etc.) rests, naturals, key signatures, timings .... and on and on. One thing I don't understand for example, is which string/note to play to correspond with say a D note (fourth line from the bottom). Would it be the G string 7th fret or the B string 3rd fret or the D string 12th fret ? If your teacher can shed some light on this, please share it with us. My wife says a D note in that sheet music position is the D above middle C on the piano (or something like that) and I'll play the D notes as I described above and she'll say that's the same thing and I'll say but which one is it and she'll say .... I gave up. Don't let my tale of woe discourage you though.
