Can Google and other SEs index your membership pages ?

Hi,
I am developing a site that has some "public" pages and
some that are only available if you register and then login.

Does that mean that Google and the other SE can not
index those pages that require a login ?

If they aren't publicly accessible by an average internet user, the search engine can't access it either.

So that means that their is no point in wasting time
making SEO friendly urls with mod_rewrite for member pages.

Nor worringing about keywords or any SEO stuff for
member pages.

Is that about correct ?

Correct
