I think that's correct. And the term I've seen used is codified. So the second amendment codifies the right to bear arms. This doesn't mean the second amendment gives us the right to bear arms. That right is a natural right. It just mentions that right specifically (codifies) when pointing out the "protection" the second amendment is supposed to provide.

...the right to bear arms must not be infringed...

So the second amendment protection is about not infringing on our natural right to bear arms. If you look at the first amendment you'll notice the same type of language. It doesn't say we have the right to free speech, it says something like "... congress shall pass no law which abridges the right to free speech or assembly...". Probably didn't get that one quite right but hopefully close enough.
