Correct, and it was much easier to understand in written form than Hebrew. So even native Hebrew or Aramaic speakers could find reading Greek easier.
Most Old Testament scholars would find it an impossible task to translate English into Hebrew - and they have enough trouble translating Hebrew into English. Any New Testament scholar could translate English to Greek and back again without problem though.
The Romans controlled the entire region, so to suggest the Jewish people couldn't understand Greek is disingenuous.
