I still don't get the "fifth lower" thing. Do you finger the same notes as the oboe, but what comes out is a fifth lower?

So if I played "Summer Rain", which is in Ab, on the EH with the oboe fingerings, would it come out as being in Db?

But then how would you play "Summer Rain" along with the band using the oboe part? Would you have to mentally transpose it, and then finger it as though it was in, what, Eb, so it would come out in Ab?

My head hurts.
