Yep

Basically yes.

But unlike being on the glide slope of the ILS, you don't really have to religiously have your VDEV on the dot on the DEV indexes. Since VDEV is calculated taking into account managed descent speed, current wind data and your lateral/vertical flight plan if you expect some of those parameters to change while descending then you can still just have it just as that, as a guidance as you descend.
