Yes. Exactly this. Building models that assess risks and potential gains. A quant is a catch-all term though, so one person may be working on models that predict some sector of the market and another person could be looking at online allocation algorithms for maximizing risk-adjusted returns.

The type of quants talked about in this article probably has a PhD in math, stats, CS (with a focus on machine learning), or something similar.
