exhanges

In an exchange of minor piece or even rooks and queen, if the exchange makes puts me a pawn ahead, is it worth it?

My understanding is:

Assuming everything else on the board is equal:

-Rook and Pawn for 2 pieces is equal
-2 pieces are better than a Rook
-2 Rooks are better than a Queen

-if you gain a Pawn, you're ahead.
