You are right!
The passive voice of a verb uses the verb "be" as the auxilliary (helping) verb, and the past participle of the main verb.
The object of the verb becomes the subject in a passive sentence. The subject (if stated) is used in a prepositional phrase with "by"
Examples: Main verb: cook (past participle - cooked). Subject: Mary, Object (dinner)
