these men are all on the same row

on right, black king

to left of black king is black bishop

to left of black bishop is white rook

am I correct in thinking that I can move white king into path of black bishop without it being called "check", as moving black bishop would expose black king to check?

No. Absolutely pinned pieces can deliver check. You will find many old threads on this topic.
