Correct, rooting (on most android phones) then gives you the ability to overlay the bootloader recovery program which then can be used to load custom roms.
rooting also allows certain apps to run, like setcpu and titanium.
As I stated, I'm taking a wait and see on this, I don't want to void my warranty, cause problems down the road.
