Bonjour Josh,

You're right! It's because of the direct objet "nous" which is placed before "ont aidés":

Elles nous ont aidés = They helped us

-> they helped who? -> nous

 

Take a look here for more details:

Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
