Hey Dave. Yes, that's correct.

Intel based macs just take the 32-bit intel version of Ubuntu. Older
PowerPC based macs take the ppc version. Both versions come in either
the desktop installer or the alternative installer flavours. Desktop has
a graphical installer and alternative is text based with greater
compatibility on older hardware during the install.

I recommend you download whichever of the four images I mentioned
through bittorent so that you can ensure that it wasn't corrupted.
