Yes, that is correct. There are minimum speeds that ATC can assign. But they can assign anything if they need. If a pilot says unable, then that solves the question. If they assign me 150kts when I'm 10 miles out, I'll do it if thats what it takes for me to shoot the approach. I'm eventually going to be down to 130-140 anyway, so who cares.
