Also when its written to point the mount to true south, is it referring to moving the North Label on one of the tripod legs towards true south ?

The software alignment takes care of the visual alignment.

Have I understood this correctly ?
Yep, you've got it right - the tripod leg marked "North" is the leg you want to point roughly towards true south - this is correct on the premise that the leg is also aligned to where your scope is pointing to when it is mounted
