Yes, that is correct.

ITEM is the same as just putting the number there without anything.

IOW. These entries are equivalent:

MYCOL=1
MYCOL=ITEM=1

The presence of the POS attribute required that the item no be separated as
its own item.

MYCOL=ITEM=1;POS=0

the POS number tells the character position number where refinement should
begin.
0 is the default and simple refines at all numbers of characters.
