Your answer looks good, but one detail is missing.
Am I correct that the internet cancels the action if
the number of hops exceeds 255?

Yes, the routers will drop the packet after 255 hops. This is to prevent a packet from traversing the network forever. The hop count can also be changed. However, it is normally set to 255 for ping packets.
