Yes, that's right. You specify the folders / drives that can be accessed and the user name and password. Depending on your NAS, you might even be able to setup levels of user. e.g. standard user has read access to a specified folder. User Level 2 might have read access to several folders, write access to another folder, and so on.

Nothing - NOTHING - is 100% safe on the net. However, don't put anything sensitive on any drives you hook up and you should be fine. Just keep an eye on things: bandwidth usage, password attempts, number connections, etc, and you will soon see if something is going wrong.
