In a  switch leg using say 12-2 or 14-2 romex, the white wire is hot at the 
switch.  The white and black tie together in the junction box of the light 
fixture, and  the black off the switch goes to the black wire on the lamp. So yes, 
this is a  case where the white is hot. The NEC only allows this case  too.

Best,

FYI.....It is always good practice if you have power (white neutral and  
black hot) in a ceiling box and you are switching down to a switch, you should  
connect the white wire of the switch leg going down to the black hot wire in the 
 ceiling box then switch back up on the black so you always know what is 
neutral  and hot at the lighting fixture when it comes time to connect it.   Yes  
Will you are right
