Does that pretty much sum it up?
So the safest thing is to buy the "official" charger or use one with the exact equivalent voltage and amperage?

I'll daresay that if both devices take a micro-USB plug, then you're not in any danger of frying anything, because no manufacturer will make a device that has a micro-USB jack that wants anything other than 5V (+/- a bit).
As dwig points out, a USB device may drain while using an incompatible charger or cable, but there's virtually no risk of frying it.
