That is perfectly correct. The umbra is the region which completely blocks out light. Only those people who fall in the umbra region will witness the complete eclipse

Right.
In addition to the link provided by The Truth, see this map by NASA about who will see next month's eclipses. You'll understand why almost everybody on Earth will see umbras and/or penumbras during this one, while those in the Pacific area won't.
