Yes, you are correct that multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction.

The order of operations is...
parentheses or brackets
exponents
multiplication and division (same level)
addition and subtraction (same level)
So with no parentheses or exponents present, you solve the multiplication and division first...
1 x 0 = 0
2 / 2 = 1
Then 6-1x0+2/2 can be restated as...
6 - 0 + 1 = 7
