Post title: Yes, that is correct!
The percentage shows 0% because memoQ did not find anything in the translation memory that could help you translate the new segment. When you translate a similar segment, memoQ will find your previous translation in the memory and will add it to the translatrio grid so that you can edit it and confirm it again. The percentage shown indicates how similar a new sentence is to other sentences already stored in the memory as you advance in the translation. The higher the percentage shown, the more similar the sentences are. As you translate and confirm each segment, you will see a green check mark alongside the percentage number. This indicates that your translation of that segment is stored in the translation memory.
It would do no harm, and actually lots of good, to learn more about how memoQ works. In memoQ's website you will find a page with videos and guides to help you understand memoQ and get the most of it. Have a look at this page.
Good luck!
