In general this is correct. However, for the Red Wizard who adds additional prohibited schools later in his career, he can still cast those spells he learned earlier, before joining the Red Wizard prestige class.Regardless if you have the spell in your book or not, you still may not cast it if it is in a prohibited school.
Here's a brief quote from the 3.5 Dungeon Master Guide:
For example, let's say the level 10 Wizard (not yet Red Wizard) specializes in Divination and currently has Evocation banned. Being a level 10 Wizard, he can cast Summon Monster V and has that spell in his spellbook.[...] The Red Wizard must choose an additional prohibited school or schools [...] He can still use the prohibited spells he knew prior to becoming a Red Wizard.
At level 11, he chooses to enter the Red Wizard PRC, and chooses Conjuration as his additional banned school. Since he already knew Summon Monster V before becoming a Red Wizard, it's 100% sure that he can cast it, even if it's technically from a prohibited school.
