Absolutely, you've hit on some of the absolute bedrock principles of SEO. That's a really solid summary.

You're spot on about the domain name. While the exact weight it carries has been debated and likely has diminished since the early days of the web, a keyword-rich domain still acts as a powerful initial signal to both users and search engines about what your site is about. It's like putting a clear label on a storefront.
