Pretty much. Except Beto is the nickname for Roberto in Spanish, just like Bob is the nickname for Robert in English.

Interesting, I'm mostly around Cubans and they call their Roberts Robe. But I've heard that Cubans hate the endings of all words and names are no exception.

Yeah, I think that's more just actually saying "Robert", but with a heavy accent.
