Yeah, kind of true. Basically like Vice President.

That depends on the vice president though. Dick Cheney was powerful because Bush gave him that much authority. Joe Biden does more than you think because he acts as a laison to the Senate. But if the President didn't particularly care for his VP then the VP would be almost totally powerless. So what I'm wondering is how much power Cameron actually allows Clegg to have.
