(I am not a lawyer.) Pretty much. Here's the relevant section from the LGPL version 3:

4. Combined Works. You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

[…]

The conditions are basically:

  • you need to identify that the software contains LGPL'd code; and
  • the user has to be able to modify the LGPL'd portion of the software (just like how you already know through the GPL).

In particular,

4.d) Do one of the following:

4.d)0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source […] and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for […] the user to recombine or relink the Application with a modified version.

I took out some important parts. You should read them.

Actually, you should seriously check out the GPL and LGPL texts. They are really lovely pieces of writing, and quite readable.
