That is right
You must be aware, that the Chechen orthography is very badly suited for the language’s phonological richness. Johanna Nichols of the University of California, Berkeley, has worked a long time to develop a practical (and phonological) Latin spelling for Chechen and Ingush. You can enjoy the result of her work here. The dictionary is not fully available on Google Books, yet it is fully searchable. I always use it to check the vowels; Chechen Cyrillic е can stand (in the middle of the word) for four different phonemes, which Nichols spells as e, ee, ia, and ie. The correct pronunciation is crucial for having Chechens understand your even simplest utterances.Here is a table of Latin equivalents of the Chechen Cyrillic. Nichols doesn’t use any diacritics in her dictionary; the ones I use are my own innovation: ä for ae, ǧ for gh, ž for zh, ö for oe, ü for y, č for ch. I also mark long ää and öö after Matsiyev and for consistency (Nichols doesn’t distinguish their length, as their length is extremely predictable with few exceptions).

Sample text in the official Cyrillic spelling and Nichols’s Latin spelling (after my diacritical improvement; I also spell the particle a as a, while Nichols spells it as ’a. There is a glottal stop in front of all word-initial vowels, that’s why I leave it out. After vowels it’s pronounced only as a glottal stop, I’ve seen it spelled in Cyrillic even as -ъ):
Лев Николаевич Толстой оьрсийн а, дуьненан а литературан куралла ю. Александр Сергеевич Пушкин оьрсийн сийлахь-воккха поэт ву. Волга Европехь уггаре а доккха хи ду. Пхоьазза ялх — ткъе итт.

The pronunciation of the phonemes as far as I get it (I’ve been praised for my pronunciation, though!)
a [ə] in closed syllables
[a] in open syllables
aa [a] in closed syllables
[aː] in open syllables
ai [əj]
aai [aj]
ä [æ]
ää [æː] (not a phoneme according to Nichols, the only instances I know of are a couple of past tense verbs in Matsiyev’s dictionary: äälla ‘said’, bääxna ‘said (iterative)’, däälla ‘left’, qäädda ‘cut’)
b [b]
v [v~w]
g [ɡ]
ǧ [ʁ]
d [d]
e [jɛ] mostly in closed syllables
[ɛ] mostly in open syllables
ee [eː]
ia [jæ] ?
ie [ieː]
eu [ɛw~øw] (the latter pronunciation is so widespread that the phoneme is sometimes spelled оьв ‘öu’ in Chechen publications)
ž [ʒ~ʤ] (ʤ is more dialectal I think, definitely found in Kist and Ingush)
z [z]
i [i~ɪ]
ii [iː]
j [j]
k [k]
q [q]
q̕ [q’]
k̕ [k’]
l [l~ɫ] ?
m [m]
n [n]
o [wʌ] mostly in closed syllables
[o~ɔ] mostly in open syllables, notable exception: noxchi ‘Chechen’
oo [oː]
oa [wɔ] ???
uo [uoː]
ou [ɔw]
oi [ɔj]
ö [ʏ̯ø] mostly in closed syllables, Nichols lists a short list of exceptions
öö [yøː] mostly in open syllables
p [p]
p̕ [p’] (rare, disappeared in some dialects substituted by t̕ if I remember correctly)
r [r]
s [s]
t [t]
t̕ [t’]
u [u]
uu [uː]
ü [y]
üü [yː]
f [f] (only loanwords,formerly substituted by p)
x [χ]
ẋ [ħ]
h [h]
c [ʦ]
c̕ [ʦ’]
č [ʧ]
č̕ [ʧ’]
š [ʃ]
’ [ʔ] (not spelled in the beginning of the word)
w [ʕ] (there’s an audible difference whether it follows a voiced or voiceless consonant)
That’s pretty much how far I got with the Chechen phonology
I hope you found this post useful!
I simply spell the nasalisation as -n at the end of the word, as it’s pretty easy to tell whether it stands for [n] or a nasalised vowel. Nichols marks it with ~ which I find pretty bizarre (нохчийн мотт: noxchii~ mott). In Cyrillic the nasalisation is very often

I was looking into learning it, but if so, that's a definite turn-off for me. 
But it's good to hear it's not too bad.
