correct, there is no written test as long as it's an addon.
Be wary about going for the minimums in terms of financing it though, the ammount of hours that it takes to get a multi engine addon can vary widely based on what your total and recent experience is. All of the training you get there though is very useful, even moreso if you're headed down the professional pilot route.

It will cost me $5,444.00 for 10 hours in a Baron. I'll be starting in two weeks. My college needs to get something cheaper like a Seminole or Duchess. Oh well at least it is good training. You might try to find a place that sells block time to save a little money.

AllATPs has a deal called MIFR10 that gets you a multiengine commercial instrument in 9 hours plus an hour for the checkride. $3000. If you feel you are not all that strong they also have a MIFR15. I did the 10 hour package, I went in well prepared by working through the King "Cleared for Multiengines" dvd set beforehand ($200). The above post mentions SOP. AllATPs will send you the data you need for the Seminoles they operate. And skip the Jepp book. Get the FAA "Airplane Flying Handbook" as a reference, FAA-H-8083-3A ($20).
The real problem is finding a twin to fly afterwards! Very few are out there for rent these days and they want you to be Bob Hoover to qualify for insurance. A lot of people end up buying time blocks at Aviator and Skymates out of sheer desperation. Good luck!
