Not exactly, I'm afraid...
The first example: It's his money: 'It's' is a contraction for It is, hence the apostrophe, It - a personal pronoun, is - a verb, It's - the contracted form, the presesnce of the possessive his has nothing to do with it.

It's a CD requires an apostrophe for exactly the same reason...

Its, without an apostrophe, is a pssessive of it, just like in the following example:

It's a huge estate; its perimeter measures over 100 miles.

Hope the above helps.
