Yes, beside securing January 1st as the first day of the year, the only difference between the Gregorian and Julian calendars is that in the Julian calendar every 4th year is a leap year, but in the Gregorian calendar the 100th, 200th and 300th years of every 400-year period are not leap years. Every 400 years is only three days shorter in the Gregorian calendar than in the Julian calendar, but that makes it about 25 times more accurate.
