Yes, what have written is exactly right. The only way to make your Amazon purchases available to any Kindle device you own is to liberate them from their DRM.
However, if you have all of your DRMd purchases backed up, and then you need to reset your current Kindle to factory defaults (yes, bad things can happen that require this drastic measure), then you'll be able to quickly re-load all of your purchases.
I highly recommend
Calibre for backing up your ebooks. You can add your books to Calibre by copying them from your Kindle, or by downloading them from Amazon.
Be sure to watch the demo video on the website.
