Yes, you are correct -- most 1080p content will not play on the iPod touch.

The iPod touch tech specs page outlines the compatible video containers and formats in no unclear terms:

http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html

Specifically:

TV and video

* Support for 480p and 576p component TV out
* H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

If you have video files that do not conform to these specifications, you can convert them using any number of available video conversion programs for Mac OS X such as Handbrake.
