Exactly. USB voltage output is always 5 volts. See this for some data:

I already bought the Apple USB adapter. By the way, if anyone is considering buying the Apple USB charger, go to eBay. You can get a genuine Apple USB adapter for about $11. Apparently, quite a few iPhone owners do not want their USB power adapter and are selling it for around that price. This is a steal, compared to the price of the same thing from Apple Store for about $30.
