This is correct.

If you go to take the positive off first and accidentally touch something metal under that hood that is grounded with the wrench it could cause a spark, which could cause a battery explosion. By taking the negative ground off first you eliminate the possibility. Same when putting the new battery in so reverse the process, positive first, then negative.
