Not quite. Read the chapter on users I mentioned in the manuals. Then, 
try a "SELECT * FROM pg_user" and look at the "usesuper" column. Then, 
try "ALTER USER username CREATEUSER" and "ALTER USER username 
NOCREATEUSER" - see how these affect pg_user.

In short, a "superuser" is a user who can create other users.
