Hello Ahchu
Yes, that's correct.
Many native speakers would say "Who do I contact?", though, especially in ordinary conversation. ("Whom" is avoided by many people, perhaps because it can sound a little formal.)

It has been my understanding that "whom" is only used with a preposition, and
"who" without one.
To whom do you wish to speak?
Who is at the door?
For Whom the Bell Tolls
"who" without one.

An easy rule of thumb that works for me:
If the answer is "he" or "she", then the question will be "who".
If the answer is "him" or her", then question will be "whom".
