This is correct. Eating, smoking, drinking and sexual intercourse are all prohibited between dawn (fajr), and sunset (maghrib), except for certain people.

For example, if not eating will cause you to do something which would be against Islam principles (like endangering life, if you are an airline pilot) then you are allowed to eat. I don't know of any religious exemptions for ****ing ;-)

When I was in Egypt a few Ramadans ago, all the house boys in the hotel disappeared as soon as the sun went down and had a big 'breakfast'. At the time, I needed a pair of scissors, but the hotel said they would be a few minutes due to Ramadan Breakfast. I said that was no problem, Ramadan Breakfast being important. The response was amazing... double salaams from both desk boys and huge grins. Unsurprisingly, not many western people (and the Russians, who are worse) understand the importance and so unwittingly give offence.
