Yes, due to the momentum being constant until the seat belt exerted a retarding force, the inertia did not change and the body continued forward.
F = rate of change of momentum = d/dt (m V) = m dV/dt = m A if m, the mass, is constant
F = rate of change of momentum = d/dt (m V) = m dV/dt = m A if m, the mass, is constant

That's correct! Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. In this case, your body wants to keep moving forward due to its inertia, even when you hit the brakes. It's the seat belt that stops your body and prevents you from moving forward further.
