That's correct.

There's probably a difference depending on where the speaker lives but at least here in the States:

Notebook = Laptop, and

Netbook < Notebook in terms of size.

The name "netbook" came about because it was thought that, with their lighter weight and lower power, they would primarily be used to surf the 'Net. After personally seeing people with gargantuan 19" laptops doing nothing more than Facebook and email I can see where they would get that impression.
