That is correct. If you travel abroad you should know this already.
However, the USA is not alerted of all crimes Americans commit overseas. Though if they catch wind of it by that country or the US Embassy in that country, you could very well have to deal with the US system upon your return. I've known a few guys to get fucked up this way.
US law applies to all US citizens where ever they are in the world, in addition to the local laws of the area you are in.
Again, I'm blown away so many Americans are dumb to this. Do you think you can just leave your country and all bets are off? No wonder so many Americans act like fools abroad.
