You are absolutely right. I wanted to touch on that but didn't want to get too wordy. Plus other land animals (like birds) have a different solutions for the toxic Ammonia problem.
This is one of those things that can get super complicated the further down you get into the minutia. OP's question was fairly simple so it's basically food+metabolism+liver=Nitrogen in urine.
