If you extend your arm out in front of your body with your thumb pointing straight up as if you were hitch hiking or giving someone a thumbs up: the rotation from that point to where your palm faces the ground is pronation and the rotation from that beginning point to where your palm faces the sky is suppination. Is that correct? Thanks

Correct.

Thumb up as when hitch-hiking is supination.

Thumb down as when pouring out a can of beer is pronation.

Pronation is better than supination, assuming the pronation is done at the correct moment in time.
