That's the general idea! To get very precise, it's a technique in voice leading that adds another layer of depth or level of drama to a melody or chord progression by delaying the eventual resolution to the tonic.
I cover the basic concept of secondary dominants, or applied dominants as they are also called, in my intro to music theory tutorial, lesson 7.

But I'd like to understand the theory better here, and where does it come from (classical, jazz, blues...). To be able to apply V of V to music.
I get more in depth, explain where it comes from & show some practical applications in multiple genres of music in this tutorial on the circle of fifths.

I show how the idea can be applied in a practical situation when learning to improvise in this tutorial.

And I use it quite a bit in these advanced soloing tutorials.

Fun topic! :D Please ask more if necessary. Best of success with V of V!
