breeding cross pollinating

sorry for the beginner question but does cross pollinating mean crossing 2 types of chilli plants ?

example : say i wanted to cross a habanero with a bhut jolokia .. would i do this by simply using a small paint brush and taking the pollen from the bhut jolokia and lightly applying it on the flower of a habanero ?
 
Basically, yes. Cross-pollination is pollination between two plants.
