Yes, Real Return bonds, like Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), pay you a return that is adjusted for inflation. They do this by adjusting the principal.
It depends on what you mean by "takes into account inflation" or "includes inflation."
If you're creating an IPS for an investor ex ante and you calculate their required return, you are calculating the REAL required return. To get nominal required return, you multiply by inflation.
nominal return = (1 + real return) * (1 + inflation rate) - 1
If you're calculating the return on an investment ex poste, then you are calculating the NOMINAL return. So to get the real return, you divide by inflation.
real return = ((1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate)) - 1
So basically you got it right, charly_blue
