to an extent. yes you are correct, matter is never destroyed, but only very little is ever changed to energy. usually in reactions, gasses or anything really, just change their form or breakdown/combine with other substances and become something else, very little actually becomes energy and only then in very high intensity reactions. which is why we still have so much of the stuff around us now.
OT: as has already been said, water never really gets "used up" it just changes form and location and eventually makes its way back to a usable state (lots and lots of processes inserted here). gas and other fuels change into (for the most part) carbon, gasses and water. none of which is anywhere near as viable a fuel as the gasoline/coal/oil/whatever that it was initially. this is a different type of process/reaction than the water thing though.
