Not quite. It is the voltage potential caused by having your feet on two different pieces of ground, which have a voltage gradient between them, that causes the current to flow. If you keep your feet together you are less likely to be harmed.
The farther apart your feet are the greater the voltage between them. This is called "step potential" in electrician and lineman safety training.
