iptables: accepting SYN --> connection ESTABLISHED

[William Park]

If I accept TCP initiation by accepting packet with SYN bit, ie.
    iptables ... --syn -j ACCEPT
does that mean that the connection is now considered established?

This would mean that I can match subsequent packets with something like
    iptables ... --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
right?
