It depends on the wing, but yeah, most wings use an airfoil shape to generate the downforce, not the angle of the wing directing the wind up which would push the car down. A few spoilers do work that way though. For example, nascar spoilers have no airfoil shape to them at all, they use the angle of attack to generate downforce.
