You are correct with this but there is a workaround for folks who want to keep the dash button and old style solenoid.
I have wired a few cars for customers who wanted to retain the starter button on the dash (later 30s Fords and a couple of 40 Fords). To do that I mounted a 12 v relay under the dash and used the dash button to fire the relay and ground the old style solenoid on the firewall.
