Yes, that's right. You can use SteemJS to fetch and post data, it's not a very practical API and badly documented, but there's some articles out there that can help you out. I wrote some tutorials for it, but those by @jfollas are the best.

Also the #steemjs and #dev channels on steemit.chat can be very helpful.
