Yes. That's the general idea of it. Read up on the documentation for yum to learn all the tricks.
There is also this guide to using yum for CentOS:

Sorry to double post, but this is important :)

The above link discusses the "Add/Remove Packages" software (known as system-config-packages). That package is included so that if you are doing an install off off the ISOs and will NOT EVER be updating the install (not a good idea if it is connected to the internet), then you can use system-config-packages to install more software.
Here is the note:
The system-config-packages utility can ONLY be used if you do not update any packages and install only from the CD/DVD. This utility will fail if updates have been done.
