Yes that’s it. Fun fact: The entropy is basically the most fundamental thermodynamical quantity, but was discoverd long after temperature and energy. If that would not be the case, we might measure temperature in eV / kByte, since the unit of temperature is energy / entropy and the unit of entropy is information.
In a sense, the existence of the Boltzmann constant is a historical accident, because temperature and energy have been discovered after entropy.
I’m interested in reading more about this. I’m looking at the Wikipedia page for “Thermodynamic beta” now. Is that what you’re talking about?

Also look at “Negative Temperature”.
