If, in the first "half" of an overtime, Team A scores a FG and Team B fouls, Team B will probably be facing a 1st and goal from the 15, 20, or 25. If, in the bottom "half" of the overtime, Team B scores a successful FG to tie the game, Team B could then choose to enforce the penalty at the succeeding spot. Which, depending on what team chooses what, could translate in to a 1st and goal from the 15, 20 or 25, or, perhaps the 5 should Team B wind up on defense the first "half" of the next overtime.

Is that a proper summation?

Right. If the FG ties the game after each team has a series then it's either going to be first and long for the offending team or first and short for the offended team.
