You have read correctly, the KDE part of 8.04 is indeed not LTS.

Of course only for the KDE3 part, as the underlying system is the same
as in Ubuntu 8.04, those elements will have LTS like in the Ubuntu

FYI, Flash is proprietary and there is no support from Canonical to
expect, you should read very carefully what is covered by the Long
Term Support.
