Yeah, that's about right.
'Cept the coil sold as a "12 Volt needs external resistor" is more or less a relabeled 6 Volt coil.
There IS a reason for the "12 Volt needs external resistor" coil. The use of an external resistor makes it possible to use a bypass setup to take the resistor out of the circuit during cranking to compensate for the low battery voltage available to the ignition system while the starter is hogging current.
Also, there's 2 types of ignition resistors used, a fixed resistor is often used with the bypass starting scheme, a "PTC" (positive temperature coefficient) resistor MAY be used in systems WITHOUT a starting bypass. It's resistance starts out low to allow for a HOT spark if the engine is cranked right away, (as soon as the ignition is switched "ON"), then it's resistance drops as it heats up to limit primary current for long point life and less coil heating.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
