There is a bit more to it than that but that's the gist.
Ideally there is some form of draught proofing between the frame and brickwork. If the sill (if applicable) is level with the ground there is waterproofing to consider as well.

Expanding foam is the usual trick. Not too much thought, when they say expanding they mean it.
And keep the frame steady until the foam cures completely. Then get a sharp blade to trim off the excess and some foam remover to clean the bits where all the foam has got on the frame/wall/you.
