Yes, this is correct. Segwit2x will be implemented to the blockchain on August 1 and this (may) cause a hard fork to happen.
Where exactly did you get the idea that Segwit2x would be implemented by August 1st? Half education can be quite misleading and worse than illiteracy! First leg of Segwit2x is already on course and would culminate in a hard fork in couple of months. However come 1st of August, UASF proposes a normal segwit, which is a soft fork.
