You are correct.

It's = It is

Its = belongs to it

it`s = it is [impersonal pronoun and verb "be", 3rd person singular]

its - belongs to it [ as Mykwyner already explained]
its - personal pronoun, 3rd person, singular in the genitive case.

another example:

It`s [ It is ]a nice dog. Its [ the dog`s] tail is short.

Hi Sally joe, yes you`re right.

It`s is a contraction of It is


Its is a posessive
