That is correct. A square, by definition, has four right angles.
(I remember back at junior school for being told off for creating an 'irregular square' because the angles weren't accurate!)
I think (somebody may correct me) that in a rhombus, each set of two corners must match with their angles, anything else is a quadrilateral.

How many right angles are there in a rhombus?
A rhombus normally has no right angles (at the vertices). If a rhombus has right angles (at the vertices), it is called a square. The diagonals of a rhombus meet at right angles.
When a rhombus is a square?
ALWAYSevery square is a rhombus, but every rhombus is not a square.A square must have right angles and a rhombus does not have to have those.A rhombus is a quadrilateral with equal length sides, and can have oblique angles or right angles. A square only has right angles. A rhombus with right angles is a square. Other rhombi are not squares.By these definitions, all squares are rhombi, but not all rhombi are squares
Is every rhombus a square?
No. A rhombus, in general, has a pair of acute angles opposite one another, and a pair of obtuse angles. It is only as a special case that all four angles are right angles and so the rhombus becomes a square.So every rhombus is NOT a square but every square is a special type of rhombus.
What does a rhombus have that a square does not?
Nothing. A rhombus could be a square.
Does a rhombus has 2 acute angles and 2 obtuse angles?
yes, except for the special case rhombus which is a square. A square has 4 right angles.
