More or less, that is correct.
You will need to learn what the ratios are in each gear to learn what sequence you should use.
Many times, the splits become very close in the upper gears and it isn't worth the effort to split each gear.
What you are trying to achieve with the greater number of gears is to make each shift occur in such a way so as to never lug or over rev the engine.
Again, never ever, absolutely don't ever try to downshift the range when going down a hill. Pick the gear you want to be in at the top of the hill and stay in it. You really don't want to ride down a hill freewheeling.
Good luck.
