Exactly
A procedural language goes through the code step by step with a few
jumps and returns to and from sub routines and such.
OOP Object Oriented languages allow, and encourage you to create, or if
you will describe entities called objects which usually consist of sets
of procedures and often specific data to deal with the objects as an
entity.
Any OOP language can be written as a procedural language by not using
OOP tools, but only a few procedural languages can be used for OOP and
you have to stand on your head to accomplish it, if you can.
