No. That is wrong. If the pitch hits the dirt before it reaches the catcher, or it is deemed uncatchable by the catcher, it is a wild pitch. If the catcher should have caught it, but didn't, it is a passed ball. A passed ball is scored (in terms of determining if a subsequent run is earned or unearned) as if an error was made, but it is not technically scored an error - it is a passed ball. In determining if a subsequent run is earned or unearned on a wild pitch, the run will always wind up earned...
