No, he clearly refers to the moment Gohan saved his life from Super Perfect Cell. Goku never directly saved Vegeta's life, he just let him go, and told Krillin to not kill him. The only thing that you are right on is that he wanted to surpass Goku. But that's not the only reason. Vegeta also clearly wanted to be the strongest as the prince of all Saiyans, and without the Majin power-up, he couldn't become the strongest. Again, Goku was dead so he doesn't count, but Gohan does, especially since this directly ties to many statement the two have about Gohan's past strengthVegeta says that had he not become a majin, he wouldn't have been able to fight Goku since he's here for one day. That's the only reason he became majin, to beat Goku, not to be stronger than gohan. Shin tells him that that's dumb.
Vegeta retaliates to shin telling him that it's everything for him then tells shin that Goku surpassed him and saved his life (from krillin).
