So in the OP, instead of telling the keeper to get rid of the ball, the referee had the option of blowing the play dead right there and after the injury was resolved letting the keeper restart with what amounted to a goal kick.

Is this correct?

Yes, with two major exceptions: offside will apply and a goal cannot be scored directly.
