Yes that is correct. Welcome to the same trap I fell into.
There is a Drupal ckeditor module that must be installed first, this is 
not ckeditor it'self.

First, please install Drupal 7.23, it's a bit cleaner and more secure.
Download and install the drupal ckeditor module.
Go to the ckeditor home page and find the ckeditor_n.n.n.tar.gz file and 
download to your /Downloads folder.
In the /var/www/html/drupal folder or where ever you have it,
Go to /sites/all/ and create a /libraries folder.
Copy the Downloaded CKeditor zip or tar.gz file to the /libraries folder.
Extract ckeditor so that you  have a /ckeditor folder in the /libraries 
folder. This is the ckeditor that the Drupal ckeditor module looks for.

You will find that you need a few more modules and I strongly reccommend 
the module_filter module as it does a great job of listing and searching 
modules.
