That seems to be the basic idea but there doesn't seem to be a provider stack just yet, just a 'client' (though I could be wrong). AOE is similar in concept to iSCSI with the biggest difference being that AOE runs over Ethernet and is thus non-routeable. iSCSI operates over IP so you can do all kinds of fun IP games with it.
