Correct.

The info related to roles is stored in some "shared" catalogs that are
visible in every database --- just the same way that pg_database is
visible in every database. Try this to see which catalogs are shared:
select relname from pg_class where relisshared and relkind = 'r';
See also the documentation on the system catalogs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/catalogs.html
The description of each catalog takes care to mention it if the catalog
is shared across databases.
