    The result is correct but your reasoning seems to show a lack of understanding. You calculate your pot odds based on the bet to be called in relation to pot size, and compare it to the equity you estimate you have vs his likely hand range. When your estimated equity is greater than the price to call, then you must call. If you don't understand what any of this means, you should read about it more in the Beginner's Digest.

    Yes, it says calling an all-in, but since you're closing the action on the last street of betting, the decision making process to call or fold is the same as when you're all-in.
