Yes, that's right. The carbs listed on the labels here are usually net carbs. Fiber, if listed at all, is listed separately.
A way to figure this out is to see if the major nutrients add up. 1 g of fat has 9 calories, while 1 g of carbohydrate or protein has 4 calories. If you do the math and get the calories listed on the label (or well, close to that since some numbers are rounded), then the carbs listed are total carbs. However, if you do the math and get less calories than what you have on the label, then the carbs listed are net carbs.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
