In much Asian philosophy, Karma is much as you describe "cause and effect."
All our actions have causes and effects. Those effects can be causes for actions by others. Our actions are interconnected and can return to us via the network of causes and effects.

Exactly.
An example from my own life:
My father was a horrible father, especially to my brother. When my brother died last year, my dad had the hardest time dealing with it of anybody in our family. He has done and said things that he will now never be able to clean up with my brother. He will have to live with that for the rest of his life.
That is karma.
