Correct. The Hindus had used it a long, long time before.

The Buddhists did as well, probably got it from the Hindus. Many jewelry stores in South Korea sold swatiska pendants.

However, there is a caveat to this, Hitler's incarnation of the swatiska is a reverse of the Hindu/Buddhist version.

Until 1940, it was worn as the shoulder patch for the New Mexico National Guard. It had/has a whole different connotation for the Navajo.
