Dear Student   
 

The standard enthalpy of reaction: (denoted ΔrH) is the enthalpy change (amount of heat absorbed or evolved) that occurs in a system when one mole of matter is transformed by a chemical reaction under standard conditions.

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation: It is the change of enthalpy that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of the compound from its elements, with all substances in their standard states. Its symbol is ΔHfO or ΔfHOThe superscript theta (zero) on this symbol indicates that the process has been carried out under standard conditions.

For example: 

The standard enthalpy of formation of carbon dioxide would be the enthalpy of the following reaction under the conditions above: C(s,graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g)

Hence your statements are correct.
