Every HD has an MBR. Yes, it is the first sector. Which one is used to boot, depends on the bios ("boot order: C, A", etc).
To avoid confusion I restrict the term MBR to the first sector of the HD that contains machine code executed to boot. A first sector of another HD I'd call Partition sector or Sector 0.
