In essence, yes.
The real "roche limit" is a mathematical construction - imagine your "moon" is a ball of liquid. It has not "structural strength" at all - the only thing holding it together is gravity.
Now, calculate when the differential gravitational forces (tides) are greater than the binding forces (gravity). You can do this for a spinning ball of liquid as well, but it is much more complicated.
