Yep, you are right. Technically it is a bonding cable from the swivel bracket to the steering arm to the engine block, so that all parts are at the same potential to prevent corrosion. You will also see one on the trim motor bolt to the stern bracket at the trim sender. From the sender another wire (green insulation) goes up to the motor ground.
