Are photos that are imported into iPhoto only viewable on your Mac Book?

This is probably a silly thing to ask but this is my situation/question:

I have always used my parent's Apple ID to purchase/share things off of iTunes (they are aware of this - of course).
My parents and I all have iPhones. I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I want to transfer and backup my 5, 000 pictures from my phone to my laptop. However, I want my photos kept private from my parents and off iCloud.iCloud is off on my phone and I believe my computer as well. My question is, if I import my photos into iPhoto and keep Photo Stream off, even though I'm logged in with my parents Apple ID on iTunes, will the photos be saved to my Mac Book for only me to view?

Yes but you can export them to another source if you want
