Yes, the ta marbouta is a modified heh. It usually marks the feminine gender, but not in every case.
The /t/ is only pronounced with the voweling or in an idafa, e.g. sayaara-tun, sayaara-tan, sayaara-tin or sayaara-t al-ustaađa. And, with a possessive pronoun, it turns into an actual /t/, e.g. sayaarati, sayaarto, sayaarat-ha, etc.
