Yep, you would use the same image for thin and fat client machines. On
LTSP, LDM is also used for local logons when using diskless fat clients,
so if you want a machine to be a thin client instead of a fat client,
all you need in lts.conf is something like this:

[08:00:27:a6:99:99]
  LTSP_FATCLIENT=false
