If a U.S. gay couple visits Canada, gets married there, and returns to the U.S., is their marriage recognized?

I would think the answer is yes………because:
this site: http://www.samesexmarriage.ca/legal/ontario_case/appeal/pride_week_marriage.htm
states the following:
“they will be as married as any people on the planet. That means, for example, the couples will identify as married on applications/forms for jobs, apartments, credit, mortgages, insurance, medical treatment, and taxes.”

However, if a gay couple gets married in another country besides Canada……..such as norway, spain, belgium, south africa, or the netherlands…….and then moves to the U.S…….their marriage will only be recognized in 3 states: New York, Rhode Island, New Mexico.
It seems like Canada & the U.S. have a litle tea party agreement that they recognize each other’s marriages…..but when we’re talking about a different foreign country, the rules are different.
so my question is: Does everything I just said sound accurate? Is this pretty much true?
