Yes, this is right, majority of complex organic molecules (but not all of them) have a spiral shape (sugar, for one, and thus the DNA wich is partly made of sugar). A spiral in 3-d space has 2 distinctive "isomers" - left and right direction of a curl. During evolution one shape dominated (symmetry breaking) and at least all DNAs and thus all related proteins and sugars in Earth life are now left-spiraled.
