Yes, those yellow lines are called the ratsnest and they represent the logical netlist connections, which means, which pins need to connect to each other.
As far as telling you how to place copper traces to route the board, I would suggest that you first go through the Getting Started manual, and after you have finished those exercises then we can help you out with specific questions, Ultiboard offers four routing methods (manual, connection machine, follow-me and autorouter) and they are mentioned on the Getting Started.
Go to Start > Programs > National Instruments > Circuit Design Suite 10.0 > Documentation > Getting Started. Look for Chapter 3, that is the Ultiboard tutorial.

Hit there and welcome to the community. You are partially correct. The yellow lines between components are called the "ratsnest". It is an indication of the connection between components, but it is not a copper trace. Multisim automatically exports these connections to Ultiboard. Now the only thing that needs to be done is to run the acutal copper traces.
To create a trace you can do some different things. Run the Autorouter and let it create them automatically. You can manually place traces with either the connection machine or the follow-me option. Thes last 2 can be found in the drawing tools located at the top of the screen.I would recommend using the autorouter as this is the simplest method with the least chance for errors (besides who routes boards manually nowadays anyway).
I hope I was at least somewhat helpful. For additional resources you can search the NI Website. There you may find some tutorials that will go further in explaning things.
Have a Nice Day
