No, that's not correct.  Just because something can't be explained by 
evolution (assuming it were found) doesn't mean ID is how it occurred.  
What it means is we don't understand the process by which it occurred.

Leaping to the conclusion that it's ID because it isn't evolution is a 
poor application of Occam's razor (at best) and lazy rationalization (at 
worst).
