That's correct. Also sometimes called a "mordent" or even a
"pralltriller."
My general understanding is that one note rapid repetition = tremolo, and
alternating note rapid repetition = "trill." Many note numerous
repetitions
= "looping."
Now for some mordant humor: The great American blues vocalist Janis Joplin
was quite fond of vocal effects such as vibrato, tremolo, etc. She even
named one of her records "Cheap Trills." ;-)
