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 - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
