That's correct. For example, you would create a repository:

svnadmin create /path/to/repositories/project1

Then you would start svnserve:

svnserve -d -r /path/to/repositories

Then you can check out a working copy using:

svn checkout svn://localhost/project1

Then you can use that working copy for whatever.

You haven't said exactly what you're wanting to do, but let me
venture a guess: Are you saying that your repository contains the
source code of your web site, and you would like to have a web server
that reflects what's in the repository right now, and it auto-updates
itself whenever you make changes to the repository? If so, then you
want this FAQ entry:

If I've misunderstood what you're trying to do, please let us know
what exactly your goal is.
