yes. you are right.
an example of a UML book.

|---------------| 1                                    1..* |-------------| 
| company |---------------------------------------------| worker  |
|---------------|employer                employee  |-------------|

so, the role next to a class is the role *that* class plays in the 
association.
the multiplicity next to a class means, with how many objects of that class, 
an object of the class at the other end can be related.
