Yep, that's 10-base-2, also called "cheapernet" The "twist on" is a connector called a BNC.

There a variety that uses thicker co-ax called 10-base-5 or "thicknet", the cable didn't attach direct to the NIC though, it used drop cables from the network card to the main co-ax. These drop cables linked to the main cable with "vampire taps".

By the way, the impedence of the cabling and hence the value of terminators required was 50 ohms.
