Pretty much.

The Product *Key* is required to demonstrate the possession of a
valid license during the installation, and is either stored on the CD
packaging on a bright orange sticker that says "Do not lose this
number," or is on a label affixed to an OEM computer.

The Product *ID* is created during the installation process and is
prominently displayed on the General Properties tab of the My Computer
icon. It's primary use is in registering for and facilitating support
from Microsoft (for what that's worth.)
