Here "*" means convolution, right?

No. The cross spectrum is defined as
FT(X) x conjugate(FT(Y))
where "x" means multiplication.

X*Y = IFT( FT(X) FT(Y) )
So, FT(X*Y) = FT(X) FT(Y).
Am I right?

Except for the conjugate:Yes, you are right. It is not very difficult
to work out the details. Most intermediate-level texts on DSP
contain a chapter named "Properties of the Fourier Transform"
where this is one of the standard derivations.
