Exactly correct. If however you want to use the wort without boiling it first (right out of your pantry) you need to can it in a pressure cooker as mentioned.
I usually just take any extra wort (soaked up in the hop bag, deadspace etc.) that I can get and freeze it, then I'll boil it and use it for starters later.
As for storing wort (this is post boil) to ferment later, there is an interesting artlicle here HyperFox - The No-Chiller Method / Using A Cube that I'm going to try at some point here.
