In Arena League Football, yes you are correct. But I believe in the NFL that you can have motion parallel to the line of scrimmage at the snap, you just can't be going forward.
Also, NFHS 7-2-7
Only one A player may be in motion at the snap and then only if such motion is not toward his opponent's goal line. Except for the player "under the snapper," as outlined in Article 3, the player in motion shall be atleast 5 yards behind his line of scrimmage at the snap if he started from any position not clearly behind the line and did not establish as a back by stopping for atleast one full second while no part of his body is breaking the vertical plane through the waistline of his nearest teammate who is on the line of scrimmage.
