Well, actually,
kV stands for kilovolts, being 1,000 volts. In the RC world, however, the Kv rating is basically what you said - the RPM an electric motor can theoretically produce per volt that is applied to it.

As it turns out, a lower number of turns on a motor will yield a higher speed (similar to a Kv rating), but will tend to have lower torque as a result.
Everything else you said was pretty much dead-on though!
