Yes. That is true.


In an acetate ion, there are:

Number of C atoms = 2
Number of H atoms = 3
Number of O atoms = 2

with a net negative -1 charge.


This thus can be respresented by the following formulas:
C2H3O2- (molecular formula of acetate) or CH3COO- (structural formula of acetate), with the - representing the net negative charge.
