That is correct. ARM based tablets which have Windows 8 preinstalled
will only boot Windows 8. There is no chance of disabling secure boot
on ARM tables with Windows 8.

Micrsoft confirms that there will be no obligations for secure boot
option on x86 and x86_64 platforms. It is up to
vendor and users to decide to enable secure boot or not. Besides users
may add/delete/manage own keys with secure boot options. For  the
time being only ARM platform is restricted.
