Yes they are the court where any case in the federal system begins its life.
In the Federal Court System, the US District Courts ARE the lowest level of court, and have original jurisdiction (over FEDERAL offenses) within their assigned districts (of which, I believe, there are 94).
Federal district courts have jurisdiction over trials. Federal appeals courts have jurisdiction over appeals from the federal district courts.
The federal courts with original jurisdiction over most federal question law suits, diversity of citizenship law suits, and federal criminal trials are the Federal District Courts. Each state has at least one federal district; however, many states have more than one district, depending on size.
