That's not exactly right.

The Alpha Channel is a layer of the image which defines which parts of the image show through.

TARGA (TGA) format uses the Alpha Channel to define what is dispalyed on-screen, a "mask" so to speak (in fact, that's what Photoshop and GIMP call it). You need to create this layer in your image editing software.

There are several tutorials/explanations of it on this site.
