Again, is a US citizen subject to the laws of a foreign nation?

I would say no -- unless you are a citizen of that nation and/or within that nation's jurisdiction -- which makes this statement from Obama's website quite relevant to your question:

That same act [The British Nationality Act of 1948] governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

If this statement is true, then he was not born a citizen of the United States, but a citizen of Britain and subject to the British Nationality Act of 1948.

Am I correct???

No. Obama was born a dual national - both a British subject AND an United States citizen. Thus, the incompatibility with "natural born citizen" [as the Founders knew the term] - as written in the Constitution.
