Exactly, this is the british system of titles, the eldest son of a Peer uses by courtesy the lesser title of the father.
Baronets: a baronet is styled as: Sir John Green, Bt. (or Bart); the son of a baronet is Mr. James Green, and Miss Jane Green is the daughter.
Baronets are not noble because they are nor Peers, they are commoners who inherit the honour of baronetcy with the address of Sir. It is interesting to know that the address of "Sir", used in the uk for knights and Baronets, comes from the latin word "senior" = older.
