Confusion over @2x and Image Resolution

I have some image I got from the web. Let's say that the max size I can make it without pix elating is 500 x 500. So with that said, should I make the @2x version of it, simply the 500 x 500 version, and regular version (ie for non retina) 250 x 250? Just a little confused about sizing the image correctly for the right screen resolution and any help would be appreciated.

If the @2x version is 500 x 500 then it will be treated at load time as a 250 x 250 double-resolution image (scale = 2).

Yes what you said is correct.

Keep in mind though that once you put it on the device the @2x will display as 250x250 pts on a retina screen.
