Yes. Correct. Simple method
Purchases ledger is a nominal account- debit all expenses and credit all gains
When you purchase journal entry is Dr. Purchases Cr. Bank
When you post it into purchases ledger
Cr. Bank will be on the debit side because purchases has debit balance.
If you have purchase returns and as it's a credit balance, it'll be shown as Dr. Returns
Similarly, B/D balance will be on the debit side because purchases has a debit balance in the income statement.
Like Mr. Sharath said, keep reading it and remember to first see
1. Where does that item come in the financial statement? Debit or Credit?
2. Then imagine the double entry and post the second line of journal entry into opposite side of that ledger
