Correct, and much cuter in Japanese than you'd expect.

What a Japanese person actually thinks
Sweet and a bit twee. 天使のような ('angelic') is used about babies and idols. It doesn't carry the awe-and-flaming-sword register that 'angel' can have in English.

Meaning

Literally: heaven + messenger
Actually: Angel — the Christian one, imported. Japanese folklore's equivalent is the 天女 (heavenly maiden), which is a different thing.
