That's correct. If you put in $100 of pretax money into a 401K, then all is subject to ordinary income tax upon withdrawal. If you put $100 in aftertax money into a Roth, then only the earnings on that $100 is subject to tax.

If you have taxable account money, then you've already paid ordinary income tax and then you pay cap gains tax on the earnings.
