 Not quite.
 Consider three techs.
 Tech A is a racial tech.
 Tech B is a normal tech; it requires Tech A level X to open.
 Tech C is a normal tech; it requires Tech B Level Y to open.
 
 Tech A can never be stolen, researched or traded unless the other race has the same racial trait.
 Tech B can not be researched or traded, but it can be stolen (via deconstruct & analyse)
 Tech C can be stolen in the same way as B.  Tech C can also be traded and researched *after* level Y of tech B has been stolen.
