Yes, your understanding is correct.
I'd suggest just learning (as you first posited) that the A key/button is the G key/button. If you truly aren't going to ever be interested in playing clarinets of other pitches (Eb, A, etc), and you're only planning on ever playing with guitars, pianos, etc. You'll be fine.
It is really handy in jazz/rock to be able to play the lead sheets in C because that's what everyone else in the band is going to be using...it's also a lot easier to talk without inadvertently crossing/forgetting/reversing transposition, etc.
I'm probably in the minority on this, though.
