This correct. All you have to do is take a copy of your mil checkride and proof that you have 10 hours PIC.
The only addition I have is that type ratings aren't restricted to commercial privileges.
8900.1 Vol. 5, Ch 2, Sec 19, Conduct a Pilot Type Rating Certification
"An aircraft type rating may be added to a Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, or ATP Certificate. However, type rating practical tests are conducted to a single standard for all certificate levels. Regardless of the grade of certificate held, an applicant must meet the standards for a type rating in the ATP and/or type rating practical test standards (PTS). All type ratings within category and class held on a superseded certificate are carried forward to the new certificate level without further testing. For military pilots applying under the provisions of part 61, § 61.73, a type rating may be upgraded to the ATP Certificate level."
