That's a correct and succinct description of the generic boot process, however a little more specific info may also be helpful.
Have a look at the boot(8) and mbr(8) man pages.
The upshot is that NetBSD has custom boot selector code that can optionally be installed into the MBR. It's pretty cute stuff, but if you choose to install it, it will overwrite any existing boot code in the MBR, such as presumably EasyBCD (which I've never used). But you don't have to use NetBSD's boot code in the MBR, you can use another if it has the ability to chain over to the NetBSD partition's first sector.
