Yes, that is exactly what yaoi is. I'm surprised you didn't know. Actually, in Japan, "yaoi" is the equivalent of what you would call a "PWP" -- all sex, no plot. If I were to correctly term the stuff I write, it would be what is called in Japan as "BL" or "Boy's Love". This is a misnomer because if you translate "boy's love" in Japanese, it would be "shounen-ai" -- and "shounen-ai" as a type of fic refers to stories that have boys/men in a romantic relationship -- hugging, kissing, etc. -- but without sex. If there's sex, it becomes "BL".
I know a couple of Japanese fans who were pretty anal about terminology.
