You assume correctly, sir.
The black wire provides power, and the lamp would ground via its mounting screws as is shown in the install video I've linked for your convenience. If the lamp isn't directly connected to metal that's in direct contact with the trailer frame, you'll need to run a jumper wire from the mounting screw to the trailer frame to complete the ground circuit.
