You are correct. JPEG files are much much smaller because it is a compressed type of file. RAW is just that, the raw color and visual information recorded to the camera's sensor, and the higher the megapixels, the higher the RAW file size. You'll see them anywhere form 10MB to over 20 depending on the camera and the picture's content.
