Yes, that appears to be correct. The question as to how scoring given your original scenario would go is still a little hazy. The definition of scored doesn't seem to help much but is copied below for convenience. The caveat about the ball passing completely through the opening makes me think that if the Hot goal changes just after the ball enters the goal (front edge sticking on or something) you would not get the bonus - I'm not sure if that is the intent of the rule so this could be a good question for the official Q&A.

A BALL is considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S GOAL if

a ROBOT causes one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S BALLS to cross completely through the opening(s) of one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S GOALS without intervening human contact,
the ALLIANCE ROBOT last in contact with the BALL was entirely between the TRUSS and their ALLIANCE’S HIGH GOALS, and
the BALL is not in contact with any ROBOT from that ALLIANCE.
