That's about all there is to it......
But the VHS quality will make the video obviously bad.....
You may want to purchase a TIME BASE CORRECTOR, install it between your VCR and the DVD to correct the brightness and sync problems associated with VCRs and the Tape Speed.
I've seen some around $200....but, you get what you pay for too.

It has to be a DVD Recorder, and you cannot copy movies LEGALLY because of coding on them. The earlier ones you can do without any problems.

That is basically correct.
You will save a lot of space transferring movies to DVD.

If these are commercial tapes, you may have problems with Macrovision.
