Hi
all above true it is that simple, the only issue is this one, when using another PC you need to point out the library again, i.e as soon as another PC used the library file.

iTunes let you share other libraries from other PCs on your network. This lets you use the same library on different PCs eg when the files are stored on a network drive/share
