Yes that is correct but there are a few modern adaptations such as:
Teach him how to fish, and watch him sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
and
Teach a man to fish, and make him a liar for life.

Or make a fire for a man and he'll be warm for a day.

Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life........

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" is, indeed, an ancient Chinese proverb. Most such things appear to have been coined by Confucius, though there is no specific evidence that this one was.
Or, give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, give a women a fish and she will sell it and buy a pair of shoes.
What do you call a fish with no eye?
