It is (correct). It is (a diffrent steed). The differences training and revalidation requirements are far more extensive that say, 319 to 320, still it is a same type rating.

I heard that 777 does have some sort of "auto rudder" which may or may not be true. I can assure you the 320 has no such thing apart from yaw damper and turn coordination - with AP disengaged that is.
