Incorrect. The pancreas is enclosed by a fold of visceral peritoneum so is intraperitoneal. The kidneys are located between the parietal peritoneum and the body wall, hence they are considered retroperitoneal. In practice, this means that the kidneys (and associated structures such as adrenal glands and ovaries) can be easily visualised at exploratory surgery by performing either a duodenal manoeuvre (for the right kidney) or colic manoeuvre (for the left kidney). The duodenal manoeuvre involves lifting the descending duodenum up, and moving it gently across the abdominal cavity to the left side of the body. This causes the mesoduodenum to catch the abdominal viscera and pull them to the left, allowing the right retroperitoneal space to be seen. The colic manoeuvre uses the descending colon and mesocolon similarly to see the left retroperitoneal space. WikiVet Article: Retroperitoneal organs
