Of course, since I don't officiate football, I could be wrong.
Yes, you are correct. Forgive me, as I always think in NF terms!

However, in the NCAA and NF (not sure about NFL) you can have a legal kick and a legal forward pass during the same down. That play has been beat to death on a couple of football discussion boards!

BTW, just a little insight. The word "lateral" is to a football official, as the words "over the back" are to a basketball official.
