Yeah, that's close enough. You could think of it as hold back, too, depending on what kinds of presses you were using.  Alphas are very confusing for the first few weeks when you start using Photoshop or AE. The information is contained in a fourth, 8-bit grayscale channel. Black is transparent, the background shows through your layer around your text. White is opaque and allows your text lyer to show up, along with all of its color and effects information because it blocks the background, preventing it from showing through your text.  Intermediate shades of gray provide varying degrees of transparency that create illusions of shadows and other effects such as blends with other layers.
