Yes. That is correct, Siebe.
Regarding the first part, the following explanation by Ven. Nagasena (to King Milinda) gives the idea too.
“The chariot simile” from Sutta Central.
I only recently found that Sutta Central has the full English translation of “Milinda Panha”
– King Milinda was a Greek King who ruled part of India about 200 years after the Buddha. He was a Buddhist. He had frequent conversations with an Arahant, Ven. Nagasena. This Milinda Panha (Questions of Milinda) captures those questions by Milinda and answers by Ven. Nagasena.
Of course, some Pali words are translated incorrectly. But one can get a good idea.
