That is correct. If you do get a gearbox I would suggest you use this one:

It is one of the cheapest gear boxes that can accept 2 CIMs, and the default options seems to be about the gear ratio you want. Check if this will work with someone who knows more about your project though.
For a motor controller, you should probably get
SPARKs (like one of the previous posts stated). They are the cheapest motor controllers you can get, and are even
on sale right now
