You are correct. In English, when a noun is used to modify another noun (as an adjective does), it's referred to as a noun adjunct, attributive noun, or, more rarely, an adjectival noun (the last almost exclusively refers to a similar usage in Japanese). While it serves the purpose of an adjective, it's still technically a noun.

Examples are chicken soup, toy store, race car, and boat lane.
