    Yes that is all correct. Additionally I use org-mode and LaTeX for my short-form writing in Emacs. For advices, just try to learn the basics. I know at the beginning everything will seem very foreign and complicated. I highly suggest you to keep going. I started with vanilla emacs. If you do not have any history with coding, I highly suggest you to not do that. You can check emacs for writers that uses spacemacs. That configuration would cover 90% of the things you have to download. As you get used to it, you can create your own Emacs configuration later.
