Pretty much yes, up until Windows XP there were versions of Windows that ran "on top" of MS-DOS, but XP (based on Windows NT) removed that requirement. MS-DOS sort of lives on as the Windows command prompt which supports most of the MS-DOS commands and allows people to run MS-DOS programs.
You cannot "go to DOS" in Windows XP. The closest analog is the command prompt, which can be opened by clicking Start > Run, and entering "command."
Windows XP cannot be installed or reinstalled directly from DOS.
