Yep, you have it right.
Note, at runlevels 123, the console will have a CLI login prompt, so you can
still log in there (and telinit 5) and switch virtual terminals
(ctl-alt-f2, etc). You just won't have the GUI (X) until you are at run level 5.
I don't know how much resources you'll free by doing this, as any processes
running would be idle. I suppose it'd free up some ram though. I'd be
interested to see the difference, if you'd care to compare and share your
results.
