Yep, spot on mate. Give or take a few bits here is the difference:
- Audi (plus a few others) measure unladen: just the car, but not in a driveable form
- BMW measure curb weight (c.75-100kgs more than unladen): Fluids + 90% full of fuel
- The standard measure is EU1 (75kgs more than curb): Curb + 68kg driver + 7kg cargo.
