Modem and routers

Hi guys, have been going through some basics of networking.

Since i cannot upload any images, this is how i am going to explain.

In the first course it does not mention anything about Modem, it says that Router is the one that connects to the internet but in the other course its modem is the one that connects to the internet?

My conclusion is below:

Modem connects to the internet and then connect to the Router which routes or passses internet connection to all of your devices.

Switch is only needed if there is not enough lan ports on the router to connect to multiple device.

Is my conclusion correct ?

In the first course that does not mention anything about modem, is it because the router is says is also combined with a modem and its all in 1 device modem and router?
