No.

Not quite - induction stoves actually cause the bottom of the pot to heat, not the stove.
Most modern electric stoves work exactly as you say - they have a flush surface and there's a heating element under the glass that turns on and heats up when it detects a pot on top of it.
But induction stoves work differently, there's a electromagnetic coil under the glass that causes the metal pot to heat up. ... so even if the induction coil is running at full strength, your hand will not get hot.
... Of course, the glass gets hot because it's got a hot pan on the top of it, but the stove its self or the glass top never directly heats.
