No, this is not correct.  A few years ago when the avr gcc port was 
starting to take shape the ava assembler was used 
http://medo.fov.uni-mb.si/mapp/uTools/ but never Atmel's assembler, it 
wasn't up to the task (and still isn't?)  Not to mention the lack of 
support and source code.

Once the GNU binutils AVR port was done (more hard work by Denis) the GNU 
assembler was then used.  Look at the gas (GNU assember) documentation as 
suggested by some earlier posts.
