Exactly. Potentiometer is a three terminal device, the sliding contact adjusts its resistance value, in turn its voltage.

Potentiometer is three terminal variable resistor. It has three terminal devices. Two terminal connected to the end of the tracks and third terminal is connected to middle of the tracks which decided the motion of the tracks.

A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.
