That's what I'm guessing. I'm at my limit of knowledge on this subject
Not that this is the source of what I know of how they operate, but it gives a good basic principal.
HowStuffWorks "Planetary Gearset Ratios"
The above link shows how locking different parts of the transmission for one gear-pack will give a few ratios to play with.
With that, I'm not sure how the clutchpacks and "bands" play into it, in relation to the valvebody - I imagine the valvebody would increase the pressues to each of these, and allow for more torque to go through the transmission without slippage.
