Thats correct, it will still charge the battery if its output goes direct to it, however the ammeter will not show the state of charge or discharge that way. The alternators output should get to the battery VIA THE AMMETER so it will read the net current into (charging) or out of (discharging) the battery. Simply wire the alternators output to the ammeters - Load terminal and then connect the ammeters + Supply terminal to the battery/starter. The ammeter goes in series BETWEEN the alternator and battery. Other loads like lights or ignition get their battery voltage from the ammeters also on the same Load terminal where the alternator is wired.

NOTE You claim it to be a One Wire alternator so this is all based on that being true. If its a 3 wire like the GM 10SI it needs more wiring to excite it.
