pretty much, here's a code that compiles
#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <nav_msgs/Odometry.h>
void odomCB(const nav_msgs::Odometry::ConstPtr& msg)
{
    double xPos=msg->pose.pose.position.x;
    double yPos=msg->pose.pose.position.y;
    //get Quaternion anglular information
    double x=msg->pose.pose.orientation.x;
    double y=msg->pose.pose.orientation.y;
    double z=msg->pose.pose.orientation.z;
    double w=msg->pose.pose.orientation.w;
    //convert to pitch
    double angle=atan2(2*(y*x+w*z),w*w+x*x-y*y-z*z);
    ROS_ERROR("%f %f %f",xPos,yPos,angle);
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "stuff");
  ros::NodeHandle nh_("~");
  ros::Subscriber sub_image_ =
nh_.subscribe<nav_msgs::Odometry>("/base_pose_ground_truth", 1, &odomCB);
  ros::spin();
}
