Yes, that's correct. Oil on the intake is probably a leaking valve cover gasket. On the intake of the turbo could just be some blow-by or maybe it needs a front seal, either way, no big deal.

Yep, the ones circled in blue. The ones in green seperate the elbow from the turbine housing. They usually break off when you remove them!

Everything within the red line. From where you removed the VAM hose to where you removed the exhaust pipe. Here's a complete T3 turbo assembly........................



I almost forgot............pull that air intake flange off the T3 to get to the impeller to check the play. There's only 2 bolts holding it on.
