Yes that's probably a fair assumption at least. Note that the ripple is not a sine wave now so if your meter is doing the "rectify/filter/measure DC" and working backwards to AC it could be a bit off but it shouldn't be off by heaps. Best to look at with a scope if you've got one. If you've got a fast min/max function (which you probably don't if it's not True RMS) it might even catch it.

If you wanted to get *real* fancy/geeky you could rig a voltage divider to an ADC input and sample it with your CPU smile. You don't have to sample it particularly fast even.

At 5VDC and 3.3VDC you definitely don't want and shouldn't have any ripple. Still good to check on a DSO though if you have the means. There will be some switching noise at least on the 5V but should be pretty well filtered by the LDO.
