Yes, you are right.
H-bonds, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds and covalent linkages form between the radicals of amino acids, which form the α-helixes and β sheets. The interaction is posibble between radicals of the same α-helixes and β sheets, as well as between different α-helixes and β sheets.
