That's correct.
BTW on Apache servers, the docs for doing it are in
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html (see the AddType
directive there).
If you're on a machine with no access to the main configuration, you may
be able to do your own settings in .htaccess.
Warning: take the time to really read the docs. It's easy to
misconfigure things, and you won't get error messages if you get it wrong.
Test your setup. Whatever you change, upload files of the various types
and see how your browser handles the downloads.

Jo
