This is exactly right. If you are using a gearbox to decrease the speed by a factor of 100, then (ignoring losses) you INCREASE the torque by the same factor of 100. There are always losses of course, how large those are depend on how much reduction you are doing and what mechanisms you use to achieve that reduction.
