Correct.  The future counterpart is {waQ} "months from now".

Okrand introduced them in HolQeD 8.3 along with two other words for time
periods not otherwise defined:

  {ret} "period of time ago"
  {pIq} "period of time from now"

They follow nouns specifying the length of time in question:  e.g. {cha'
tup ret} "two minutes ago", {loS rep pIq} "four hours from now", etc.
