To me your statement says your not a mason until you've reached the 3° or maybe even higher degrees.

You are correct brother. I don't consider a man a mason until he is raised, understands, and begins living by the obligations he has taken. "Higher" degrees, or to be precise those leading to a more learned mason do not enter into this equation.
I do not think a man who shows up for one degree, possibly pursues it for a time, and does not complete his third degree to be a mason.
You are very correct in your synopsizes.
