If you really want to be sure, spend $5 on this ebook from the 
publishers of TidBITS:

<http://www.tidbits.com/TakeControl/Panther/Upgrading.html>

It's an electronic download, and you can buy it and read it before you 
start. I've heard nothing but good stuff about it since it was released 
on Friday (at the same time the software officially went on sale).

That said: yes, most of what you'll want to be careful to back up is in 
your Users Folder. I'd also back up the System's Library folder, and 
maybe your Classic System Folder (if you use Classic often), and any 
Applications you can't quickly reinstall. But most of your personal 
files will be in your Users folders.
