Almost. pH is ten times more acidic each time it goes lower by one, down from zero, and ten times more base each time it goes higher by one, up from zero. The pH scale is logarithmic, yes.

Yes, the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number change in pH represents a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity. For example, a pH of 5 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 6, and a pH of 4 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 5.
